  • dns issues, anyone?

    From august abolins@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 19 18:08:00 2023
    Has anyone here ever come across a situation where PING to a
    specific #.#.#.# works, but not to a domain name?

    This problem seems to be reoccuring here every few days. I
    can't understand what would cause the difference.

    I have configured Windows' DNS specifically to 1.1.1.1 and
    8.8.8.8, yet visiting sites and pulling in my mail (POP/SMTP)
    would fail.

    Any similar experiences? Solutions?

    In most cases, it'd be due to bad network route chosen by the ISP.
    Or the ISP itself.

    It's not the network route at the ISP. I have a local Win7 pc
    and other smartphones accessing my router to the 'net, and they
    don't exhibit any problems with websites.

    The only way that I can seem to recover normal operation is if
    I reboot XP.

    Hello Paul!

    Good dns info here: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/how-to-resolve-dns-issues


    Thx. I'll be trying the following the next time it happens:

    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /registerdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    NETSH winsock reset catalog
    NETSH int ipv4 reset reset.log
    NETSH int ipv6 reset reset.log
    Exit

    I only new of this sequence:

    ipconfig /release *
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /renew

    .but /registerdns might be necessary.

    And if that doesn't help, then I'll have to disable the
    services in the "clean reboot" option that the article
    suggests.

    I does seem to be possible that some service simply trips up
    the dns since the pc will function just fine for several days
    between hibernate or standby, but then it would fail.
