This thing keeps stopping and it says DNS server something. I followed some steps

[Maraya1969]

and did a couple things but it didn't work. Does anyone know how to to read my mind and tell me what I forgot and then tell me how to fix it?

Thank You.

1. A few ideas.

A DNS server (domain name server) converts your internet address ( i.e. democraticunderground.com ) to a number. The internet runs on numbers, and we basically never see them. Like 172.67.167.61

There is a chain of such name servers, starting with your home router, which basically forwards the request, and that chain could hiccup any time. It would be different for your cable or fiber versus cellular.

Stuff goes down! Pagers go off (or messages get sent).

About the most that one can do is reboot the router or restart your device. The rest is on other peoples' hands.

(or change your device's setting for DNS server, but that's advanced stuff. Even I don't do it 99.99% of the time)

Good luck.

2. Thanks. I didn't want to bother rebooting but since you said it too I will.

3. It often works, and for most people, it's all you can safely do.

Clearing browser cache often helps, but I strongly doubt it helps with DNS (somein name server) issues.

Good luck.
