HiAssuming that you have a Router, log to its WAN menu, and try manually 4.2.2.2 in the DNS field. Jack-MVP Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET

Also I tried overriding the DNS server by using 4.2.2.2 in the DNS field of the LAN adapter, still did not work.Now recall the laptop is working, but the desktop is not using DNS.
