Wi-Fi works but the wired tells me dns not working

[Timorel]

Hi, i have read a lot about my problem so i have done many test but heres what it comes down to and now i can"t find a proper solution. When i desactivate my Wi-FI conection (because it works) to let my wired connection take the lead it tells me the DNS server is not able to connect. Strange thing is that when my wi-fi is acticated the wired part of the connection (that is still on) tells me its working. I ran ping to google.com 4 answers no lost and to 8.8.8.8 same result. I tried ipconfig /release and renew and flush dns thing. Tried the Ipv 4 and 6 ( they are on automatic). I am out of solutions please help me out on this

Check the properties of the wired network card as it may have a static DNS entry.

Network Connections > right-click the adapter > Properties > open TCP/IPv4.

If there are static IP addresses for the DNS servers, then you probably need to allow the adatper to obtain them automatically instead.

Everything is on automatic =/

What happens if you statically set your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4; or 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220?

let me check
That worked ! although i dont understand why it wouldnt work on automatic...

 

[Timorel]

will that work forever or will i have to change it once in a while ?

 

[CrzyGK]

Hard to say, but I'm glad it worked! Remember to select solution if your content!

 

[CrzyGK]

As long as those values are there, you should be fine.

 

[Timorel]

i will keep you updated if something happens alright ?

 

[CrzyGK]

Sounds good! Feel free to PM me if you have any more troubles!

FYI, I should point out that the 8.8.x.x and 208.67.x.x addresses are for Google and OpenDNS servers respectively. It's highly unlikely that they'll ever change, but you should know that your DNS server isn't provided by your ISP, not that it really matters.

In a lot of cases, it's better than using your ISP DNS. I've seen many ISP not adhere to the standards of DNS. When an address doesn't exist, ISP DNS will sometimes resolve to their own search engine pages. I hate that.
