Hey guys, wasn't sure if this was the right place to post.

So, I've been having this recurring issue when using my browser (Chrome). There will be times when the internet seems to just drop and it can't connect to anything. On other hand, I can use messengers, torrent, whatever else, so not sure what's going on.

Sometimes, it will blatantly say the internet appears to be offline. Other times, it will say I couldn't connect to the DNS server. I'm not really sure what all's happening here.

Looks like your connection is working fine; however, you are having DNS resolution problems. Open a command prompt and type the following and post the output
  • ipconfig /flushdns
  • nslookup
  • google.com
  • server 8.26.56.26
  • yahoo.com
  • exit
@Hey neem; what's this:

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-FF-72-CA-35-63

I wonder if OP has a dongle plugged into to one of his ports (serial, parallel, or USB)? Never seen this before.
