I keep getting DNS Server not responding when I trouble shoot my network connection.I'm running windows 7 ultimate and INTEL 82578DC gigabyte network connection. I showed hidden devices and I am unable to find microsoft mini-port connector to disable it. i've tried changing the addresses as instructed no difference, I've changed from a home network to a public and back no different, I connecte to the interent via Motorola modem and high speed cable. It takes forever to connect on startup

Please post the results of IPCONFIG /ALL to get an idea of what the IP and DNS client configuration looks like. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

Hi, If there are any other computers on the same network, please check how they work. Is this a PPPoE connection? If so, please check its settings. · This issue can occur by incorrect DNS settings. You may take the following steps to have a try: 1. Click "Start", input "NCPA.CPL" (without quotation marks) and press Enter. 2. Right click on the connection that you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties". 3. Click to select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and then click "Properties". 4. In the Internet Protocol window, let's change the "Preferred DNS server" to 208.67.222.222 5. Click 'OK' twice to complete the modification. If the issue persists, please repeat the steps and change the "Preferred DNS server" to 208.67.220.220. If the NIC or PPPoE connection has been already set to obtain DNS address automatically, you have to contact the ISP to check DNS Server settings.
