Hi,
I don’t know if it is a failure or my mistake, but on the router I can ping domain names like google.com, but on my PC there is no name resolving. I can ping IP addresses without any problem, but no domain names from my PC. Does anybody have any idea?
I have few ideas:
a) Your PC has invalid DNS config. Check “ipconfig /all” for DNS servers.
b) There’s something wrong with configured DNS server. Is it router or something else? If it’s router, does it allow remote requests (see IP->DNS)?
c) Something interferes with DNS queries, most likely your router. Check its firewall rules.
DNS testtool for your PC is “nslookup”
.
C:\Users\bpwl>nslookup
Default Server: Vigor.router
Address: 192.168.2.1
> google.com
Server: Vigor.router
Address: 192.168.2.1
