Hello,
I have a wired connection,since yesterday i'm having issue with the network, i can connect to a network normally, but after few minutes pages fail to load up normally, upon troubleshooting the problem it says the DNS server isn't responding.
In safe mode,this issue doesn't exist though.
OS Is windows 10

Also my MAC address is 88-88-88-87-88 might be that causing issue ,can't tell.
Need help!
 
Solution
Go access your modem through web browser at 192.168.1.1 (it's usually the default address unless someone with admin privilege change it then you should contact him/her)

Look up any tab that said LAN and/or internet settings. On its page it should display your DNS server provided by your ISP. Input it in your TCP/IPv4 settings on DNS address.

My PC is connected to ethernet directly, i don't use any router.
Until yesterday i had no such network issue, since it is working fine in safe mode, i rarely think it has something to do with my router and/or my MAC address

Another way, google: mbam.setup or Malwarebytes

Some malware might have done some change without you notice it. Malwarebytes is one of the name I trust.

Also I still insist, check and make sure your IPv4 DNS settings whether its still match as your ISP dictated. Do not use Google's DNS just yet.

I can connect to the web,but after some times it looses the connection, not that i can't connect with internet at all, i tried malwarebytes,so far no issue i had for 2 hrs,but again it started, i think it has something to do with MAC address,since it is simply 88-88-88 etc.. Maybe i try the Macshift or buy a PCI Network adaptor.It's cheap and working solution i think.

Something like this maybe? http://www.tp-link.in/products/details/cat-11_TF-3200.html

Nevermind, it seems it took time,it got sorted out by itself now after new ethernet. Not only my problem is fixed, speed and latency is improved aswell, didn't saw that coming!
And thanks a ton to you mate.
