Hi, for some reason, all DNS servers are having errors with my computer. I used DNS Jumper and did a "Fastest DNS" test and all of them say "Error" so I really don't know. I am trying to change my public IP and all the tutorials say to change the router MAC address so thats what I tried doing and now I can't use Google DNS or anything. Please help! I'm kind of a noob when I comes to networking so any help is appreciated.

I would call your ISP, tell them you want to change IP, some will tell you to simply turn off modem for 1 mins and start it up again, some will assign you a new one, changing MAC address often results in issues as you experienced earlier.

It didn't work, note that I also flushed dns in cmd with ipconfig /flushdns and also registered the dns etc. then rebooted and still doesn't work.

okay

first of all changing your MAC address on your router, doesn't always ganrantee your ISpo will let your reconnect to the cable system with that new mac address. most will, but a lot are "registering the mac address to the account and when you changeit , it no longer matches the ISp address. and they do not let you do that..

all that said,

can you access your router ? if so;

Go to your router Configuration for WAN, set your DNS manually for Wan, to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and set the MAC to be the Default. save and reboot router
the IP for DNS I gave you is a public DNS address from google. I have seen ISP DNS get squirrely and want to make sure this is not your issue.
close your internet windows/chrome/google web browsers, and open web browser again, can you access the internet ? no?
right click on network icon bottom right of your screen, select network and sharing, then change adapter setting, right click on your network adaptor, does it have a DNS address marked at that location ? or not ? if yes, change setting to get automatically, save , and reboot PC
try reconnect to internet.

That fixed the DNS problem! But do you know a way to change my public IP address that would be free?

Pretty much I would like to change my public IP Address because I have been unfairly ip banned from this one server I play on. Anything I can do about it?
