Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding

Post by Aleena George »

Hello, I have a problem with Internet connectivity on my Windows laptop. Occasionally, it refuses to go online. Windows troubleshooting comes up with a result with the following error message.

Troubleshooting has completed. Problems found:
Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding.
It just shows a close button, nothing more. Can you tell me the steps to fix it?

This issue is related to the DNS server information on your modem/router. You can fix this issue by power cycling the modem/router.

Switch off the device for two minues and power on.

Thank you for the suggestion. I switched off the computer and modem for three minutes. Turned on the computer and modem after three minutes. Now, the Internet is working.
