Tech Tip: How to fix DNS errors

Description: Sometimes a computer will inform the user that it is having a DNS error and can't connect to the internet. Flushing the DNS can often fix this:
  1. Hold down the Windows key and select the R key once to open the Run window.

    Windows key
    R

    Run window

  2. Type cmd into the space there and select OK. This will open the Command Prompt window.

    cmd

  3. In that window, type ipconfig /flushdns and select the Enter key.

    ipconfig /flushdns

  4. Once that's done, type ipconfig /release and select the Enter key.

    ipconfig /iprelease

  5. Then type ipconfig /renew and select the Enter key.

    ipconfig /renew

  6. Then type exit and tap Enter. You have now reset the DNS.
