Hye everyone,

I have an issue with my desktop PC. Most webites that I want to acces won't work anymore. It says that de DNS adres of the server couldn't be found. It's strange because every other device in the house has flawless internet.

Do you guys know what the issue might be?
(Trouble with websites: Amazon, Soundcloud, Websites from local shops, etc. Only Social media and google seem to work.)

Thanks in advance
 
Try to test it from the cmd prompt it sometimes can be the browser and not a actual dns issue

Try
nslookup www.amazon.com

Even if it does not work it should tell you the DNS server it attempted to talk to.

Then try

nslookup www.amazon.com 8.8.8.8

This will force it to use the 8.8.8.8 google dns server. If this second one works but the first does not you could try to hard code the DNS to 8.8.8.8 in tcpip v4 settings in the nic.


If both work then I would be suspect of something messed up in the browser. Maybe simplest to delete and reinstall the browser if that is the case.
