1. There is an internet connection but you can not connect to any website's, while only one or two could work.
Possible issue(s):
1. Your DNS server(s) are not setup correctly
(DNS translate the www.website.com to the webserver's IP adress (81.392.23.1 for example,
All translations are saved on your computer)
What doens't work: Website's you have not visited within the last 12-24 hours
What does work: Website you know the IP off (the perpheads IP)
Known prompts and popups:
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
What do to:
Open network management/center (
)
on the left panel, click change adapter settings.
Then find your adapter (LAN Or wifi, whatever you use)
and click properties (It's eigenschappen i my language, but it doesn't matter, it just says properties.
You'll be prompted with some options in the list, you want to scroll down the list until you see:
internet protocol 4 (NOT 6)
Right click this and hit properties
Then on the bottom, click the button saying you'll be using your own DNS servers
Note: there are many DNS servers, and i will use openDNS.
this may or may not be fast for you, you'll probably want to use your ISP's DNS servers most of the time, unless they're shit.
The IP adresses of openDNS are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Fill these in on the primary and secundairy slots
then hit OK and OK again.
Now this should be resolved and you can browse the web as usual.
