One Computer Gets DNS Errors While Other Devices Work Normally

Asked By MellowCedar42 On

Whenever I try to open a website on one computer, I get a DNS address error and the page will not load. Other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi work normally. I have already tried switching DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, clearing the DNS cache, restarting the router, and temporarily disabling my antivirus. What else should I check?

You can also test the connection directly from PowerShell with `Test-NetConnection yourwebsite.com -Port 443`. A successful result means the computer can reach the site and the issue is probably limited to the browser. If it fails, the problem is affecting the computer's network connection itself.

First verify whether the computer has working connectivity outside the browser. Open Command Prompt and run `ping google.com`, then try `ipconfig /renew`. If the ping says it cannot find the host, the problem is still DNS or the network configuration rather than the browser.
