DNS Server issue
DNS Server issue
I've faced this problem for a while now. It began after I purchased a new PC and has persisted until then. I've looked through tutorials on YouTube and searched online, but none provided a fix. The same CAT6E Ethernet cable that supported gigabit in my previous setup is causing the issue again. Even after reconnecting it to my old PC a few days ago, the problem persists. I've tried several workarounds: changing DNS servers (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1), restarting the system, and using commands like /ipconfig flushdns/registerdns/release/renew, but nothing resolved it. I've also reset network settings and performed other troubleshooting steps.
8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1. Are you referring to these DNS settings? I’m not sure how to display the DNS configuration publicly, are you asking about this? Sorry for any confusion, but I’m uncertain whether sharing your ipconfig results is safe online.
Your IP setup details, crucial for network access: IPv4 Address is 192.168.0.200 (preferred). Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Default gateway is 192.168.0.1. DNS servers are 192.168.0.50 with records 1.1.1.1.
IPv4 Address matches Subnet Mask, same Default Gateway is used. DNS servers are set to 192.168.1.1. Various entries include 192.168.1.1 and similar formats like 2001:4450.
What Ethernet connection is linked to the upstream device? Is it a gateway, modem, router, or switch? What are their brands or models? Restart the router or switch and provide the CMD output for ipconfig /all. Omit any IPv6 details. Consider turning off IPv6 in the NIC settings.
It's okay if your router functions as a DNS server correctly—you can check by logging into the router's web interface and looking for options like Tools. Perform a Ping test and try some router DNS configuration, such as pinging <www.google.com>. If your DNS server is your router, use those specific addresses in the router settings. Alternatively, you might need to set it via your ISP's DNS provider.
It's linked to my router, specifically the HG6245D model. I've already tried that, but nothing worked. I'm still worried about privacy—do I just need to hide the IPv6 address or are there other steps I should take? And you're asking if this is the right approach, since you mentioned you've already done it.
Use CMD to run nslookup, type the steps and note the output. Focus on dns.google one.one.one.one and 1.1.1.1 to understand the issue better. Initially it uses the DHCP-supplied DNS servers, then checks other defined servers for responses.
