DNS lookup failure for internet?

Question

Most of the time when I try to get on facebook or something this is what it says. This webpage is not available
The server at facebook can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Here are some suggestions:

Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Check your DNS settings. Contact your network administrator if you're not sure what this means.
Try disabling network prediction by following these steps: Go to the wrench menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... and deselect "Predict network actions to improve page load performance." If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend selecting this option again for improved performance.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the wrench menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.

Answer 1

Is there a question here? You have given plenty of information on breaking DNS settings in your computer, but I don't see a question that needs to be answered.



If what you are asking for is a DNS server to use, 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4 are common public ones. If your internet suddenly stopped working a few weeks ago, you had a virus a while back that changes your DNS settings, and have not changed them back. It was big in the tech news (and regular news for that matter).

Answer 2

It would help if you told us who your ISP is. If you have DSL, be sure to set the router's connection type to PPPoE, and enter your DSL username and password. If you have Cable/FIOS, make sure to set its connection type to DHCP. Additionally, be sure to power cycle the modem.

Answer 3

change your dns address
