    I get the following error msg every day "Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded." I lose connection to the internet for 2 mins and my connection is fine after that. I have replaced my router/modem a month ago so I know that is not the issue, I updated my NIC driver so that is up to date. I replaced the RJ45 cable from my switch to my PC. Win 7 is my OS.

    I cant think of anything else to try. Can I plz get some help with this.


    thx

    Who is your ISP?

    you should try contacting them for their DNS servers, then statically set them in the adapter's TCP/IP properties. you could leave your IP Subnet and Gateway automatically set.

    try setting your network to home network.

    or

    try

    OpenDns

    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    Or

    Google DNS

    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4

    hope it helps
