Answer 2

try finding your ISP's Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses, then setting them manually on your router.

those are important for your computer to automatically get a IP address, where the local DNS server is the router, which gets its information from the ISP.

Answer 3

This error won't create any serious problem.

But to avoid it

Go to properties of lan.

Configure TCP/IP

Don't use automatic options .

Set your IP to something like 192.168.1.0

Set default gateway to 192.168.1.1

Set Default mask as 255.255.255.0

In DNS use

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

These are of OPenDNS.

Now re-connect your LAN.

I have seen this on my HP Pavilion, am fairly sure clicking on repair connection (right click on wireless icon in system tray) was the fix, alternatively try configuring a new wireless connection.
