Resource (DNS server) is not responding

I have scoured the internet and tried all sorts of fixes but i still cannot solve this problem.

System specs
GA-MA790GPT-UD3H motherboard
3.4 Phenom II - quad core
Geforce 275
OSC black edition 4 gig RAM
Ethernet

My full error is "Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding."



I have taken my router out of the equation and plug directly into the cable modem. I can browse the internet and even download files from the internet at great speeds, but the moment i use my FTP clients my download falters tremendously to around 20KB a second. When i game on CODWAW and have to download something new like a mod or map, same thing slows down to 20KB a second. I can do a speedtest on the internet and get my full bandwidth no problem.



As you can see once it is getting ready to leave my network the ping times out.

I have updated all my drivers and done several system restarts .



My Internet Protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) is set on auto.

Interesting enough it is saying it can't find DNS but assigns me one



I have tried many solutions but for some reason i can't solve this.. Any help would be much appreciated it. I am a web designer and if my FTP speeds are this slow, this will cripple my business.

Any questions are welcomed.
