| Hi there. I would like to caveat this post by saying I'm not the most tech savvy person, so if I'm missing something obvious, sorry for my lack of ability. I'll also try to be as detailed as possible, but if I miss anything important, if you post what I'm missing I'll add it as soon as I can. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I'm getting a DNS server error. I've searched all over, but can't find anything that mirrors my particular issue. I have a wireless network at home that myself, (using a Sony laptop running Vista), and my roommate, (using a Macbook with OSX), are both on. In addition, I have a Belkin Wi-fi Skype phone that uses the network. Our internet went out aprox a week ago due to a provider issue. It was restored 2 days ago, but ever since the restore, I have an issue with the internet connection. I can connect to the network with no problem, and the internet initially. After about 10-30 minutes online, however, I loose my internet. If I use the utility in the Network and Sharing center to diagnose the issue, it comes back as a DNS server error. This is where my issue parts ways with the problems I have seen in various forums. My network still shows that it's connected to the internet, and whatever window I have open can still be navigated. The connection is only nonexistent if I open a new tab or window, or if I try to navigate to another URL. Any internal link on the site that opened prior to the apparent loss of connection can still be opened. I also keep Skype running on my computer, and as long as it's opened before I can't open a new page anymore, it works just fine unless I sign out and back in. If I disconnect and reconnect to the network, (sometime 2-4 times), I have an internet connection again and the whole process starts over. Really frustrating to do this 2-6 times an hour. My roommate on the Mac has no problem with his connection, leading me to believe that something is amiss with my computer. The only questionable part of this is the Skype phone. It seems to be having the same issue my computer is. It connects to the network, but lacks the internet connection sometimes. This is all going on as the roommate is browsing away, trouble free. Another facet of the trouble with this issue is my locale. I'm a teacher in Bali, Indonesia. My ISP is worthless, and trying to get assistance from them on this problem is hopeless. I've called several times already, only to repeatedly explain the issue to someone who may speak just enough English to ask how you are this afternoon, but definitely not to understand the issue I'm describing to him, (unfortunately, it's the only option I have here. And it's 512k for $100 a month. Please take pity on me). Oh, I use Chrome as my browser, but have tried both Safari and IE with the same results. Thusfar, I have done a dns flush in the command prompt, and run every security program I have with nothing found, (Spybot, Windows Defender, and Panda anti-virus). I have reset and reconfigured the router several times, and considered purchasing an axe to beat the whole mess into tiny pieces with. Please help before I loose my mind! Thank you. Aram |

| My brother in law ran into the same situation with his laptop (also a Sony). It was a case of simply updating the wireless NIC driver. I've seen this ona couple of other laptops also. Check both Sony's website for updated drivers, and also run Windows Update. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway 15.4" Laptop, Windows Vista Ultimate/Server 2008, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 |
