DNS Issues
13 years ago
Someone please help me before I end up throwing my laptop out the window of a moving train. Or something. I bought a new one, so it's not a big deal if I can't get this one to work, though the new one isn't supposed to get here for a little while longer.
Anyway, story goes like this: laptop turns on, connects to wifi, loads some web pages, and then DNS issues happen. It won't load the DNS server or something like that. Skype works just fine, I still have wifi, I just can't load web pages because of the stupid DNS not loading. I've tried manually entering Google's DNS server into the network settings, and I ran a scan for the optimal DNS server. The default is best, according to that, and I have set to default.
Malware Byte's scan returned nothing. I guess I could run an MSE scan too, but I don't think that'll do much good either. Any and all help is much appreciated.

In light of your getting a new laptop I am not sure how much time you want to invest in your current machine. If your current machine has some value to you, then a trip to the Microsoft Store (if it exists in your area) might be a good idea because they can be pretty helpful.
I hope things work out with your machine.
It works fine when I have it plugged in, which it will be all the time when I turn it into a server.
Out of curiousity, what kind of computer is your old one?
