DNS server not responding
Alrighty... so I have done some research on how to fix this problem and it all looks foregin to me. Also on top of that I just moved to China two weeks ago.. So I dont know anyone or know how to ask anyone for help. But all I know is that when I try and
connect to the Internet it states that my DNS server is not responding. I have a good connection and everything. Also, I have a Galaxy Tablet and that is also unable to connect to the server. Could anyone provide me with info how to fix this problem for dummies...

Hi,
This issue can occur by incorrect DNS settings. I suggest you perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
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.
Furthermore, you can try to register DNS via command:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
Hope that helps.

Hi guys,
Here is the solution to your problem. I have been struggling with this problem for a while trying to figure out what the issue was. I have 2 computers at home - one of them was able to connect to Internet, the other one couldn't. I was getting DNS Server
Not Responding error message. What I finally did and it worked was rebooting my computer to the factory settings. I followed the instructions of this very helpful video on youtube:
(please note that you many need to press F12 (because I have Dell computer) instead of pressing F10 and ALT at once as stated in the video).

It works as magic. 10-15 minutes and you are connected to Internet.\
Hope that helps!
Boris.
