  • In this video I will explain what the error "The DNS Server Isn't Responding" actually means and how to fix it. I will show you how to fully diagnose your errors and then give you a step by step method to move onto the OpenDNS server or the Google DNS server. In addition I will provide a highly simplified explanation of what a DNS server actually is and therefore what the problem you are having actually is.
    Hopefully if you follow all of these tips you will be able to get your internet back on and surf the web again!

      Same here. I’m trying to follow this dude’s advice but it keeps giving me a popup every time I go to enter the DNS number that “XXXX is not a valid entry. Please specify a value between 0 and 225” LIKE OK DUDE, AND YOU’RE NOT EVEN LETTING ME TYPE IT IN. I AMMMMMM GIVING YOU A VALID NUMBER BUT YOU’RE NOT LISTENING AND YOU KEEP CUTTING ME OFF”

    Tried almost everything, what worked for me was uninstalling the antivirus. I had symantec. Thank you!

    Thanks, my dns settings were different because I was doing something with Minecraft and it worked after the first method. Quick and simple. I also like how you explain everything.
