chrome error: dns_probe_finished_no_internet

I have a desktop PC(Gateway Windows 7) that was running fine until yesterday at which time I noticed that none of my browsers would connect to a site even though tray icon said I had internet access, as did Network and Sharing Center.

At same time both a laptop and tablet connected via Wifi have full internet access. Wifi router is connected to a DSL modem as is the problem desktop.

On the problem desktop,

• Google Chrome says "DNS probe finished No Internet"
• Firefox says "Cannot connect to server"
• IE just hangs rendering nothing.

I've tried a number of things to no avail:

• pinged majorgeeks.com successfully
• set TCP/IP version 4 to "Obtain DNS server address automatically"
• deleted Chrome's User Data/Default file and restarted Chrome
• tried netsh winsock reset and restarted computer

Help appreciated.

Thanx!

 

Some things to try:

From command prompt:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

 

Also if the above did not work:

netsh int ip set dns
netsh winsock reset

 

Thanks!

Tried both.

Will post results. Thanks again.

 

Tried both suggestions.

Thanks but no luck.:cry

Will try researching DNS problems.

Other suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

 

On the above netsh int ip set dns should be netsh interface ip set dns.

However, still didn't work.

Thanx!
