Problem encountered while trying to reach specific online resource.
I encountered issues when trying to open multiple websites on my PC, receiving an error about "x's IP can not be found." I've tested on other devices and changed my DNS settings, but the problem persists. Could someone assist?
Have you confirmed your IP settings? Make sure your internet connection is active. You might test connectivity by sending a ping to www.website.com—try it with a working site and one that isn’t.
It wasn't changed. The current DNS settings are Google's, which was the initial step taken to resolve the issue.
If this was a network problem affecting multiple devices, it would be simpler to resolve since there are fewer variables. On Windows, potential causes could range widely. Recently, someone experienced similar trouble and linked it to their router failing to register with the network—creating a P2P connection to another device at 169.254.X.X. Your setup appears stable. The most effective fix might be reinstalling Windows, though that’s a last resort. You could also try connecting via an Ethernet card or USB-to-Ethernet adapter to determine if the issue is tied to a specific port or operating system-wide.
