I am connected to a wirless network but when i try to access internet explorer it gives me an error of cannot find server or dns error. Really starting to get mad since i just bought it today, please help!!!!!

Error 105 indicates that Chrome can't find a DNS server.

Without a DNS server, a browser can't find a web page using a domain name (such as google.com) and therefore cannot surf the web.

If you have another browser, such as Edge, Internet Explorer, or Firefox and they cannot reach google.com either, then you are either not connected to a network with internet access or your browser has been hijacked.

If you are on a windows computer, use Windows+R or click in the Run box on your start menu and type cmd to pull up a command window. type >ping google.com and hit enter... if it pings the address successfully, then you have DNS and your browser has been clobbered.

Otherwise try connecting to another network, contact your network administrator, or examine your TCP/IP settings for your current network adapter and set your Preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (google's DNS server) and the Alternate DNS to 4.4.4.4 (also google). This should give you access to the whole internet via domain names.

I could & I arrived here "Welcome to Pearson MyLabsPlus", which is a gateway to "El Paso college". (IP address 159.182.164.119). Normally I'd just give you the url using the IP address but it wont work as its a secured link.

My guess is that either your browser is damaged (by malware which is redirecting you though an alternate gateway which doesn't have the DNS record) or your ISP's dns simply doesn't know this URL.

Does the same thing happen if you use a different browser like Chrome for instance?

Try to reset internet explorer.

To reset Internet Explorer settings

1. Close all Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
2. Reopen Internet Explorer.
3. Click the Tools button, and then click Internet options.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset. ...
5. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.

Network faults
Temporarily change your DNS settings.

1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type adapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.
2. Right-click the connection that you want to change, and then click Properties. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. Click the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, click either Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties.

4.Now look at the bottom of the screen you will see preferred DNS press the "Use the following DNS server address" and in the first preferred enter 8.8.8.8 and the second enter 8.8.4.4

This is the IP address of the Google DNS servers which will replace your ISP's one. I have tested Google and it knows your El Paso college gateway IP.

Once you have done that OK it and either do a START>RUN>CMD>ipconfig /renew
or reboot the computer.

Try this fix and if it works you can safely leave the settings as is. It wont make any difference to you normal browsing. If not just re access the settings and click the obtain DNS server automatically.

When trying to connect to the Internet from your laptop computer, you may receive an error concerning improper DNS settings. DNS stands for Domain Name System, which handles how computers connect to IP addresses and websites. In order to fix a DNS problem, you need to modify your network adapter's settings so that it connects to the correct DNS servers automatically.

To check DNS query visit the site WhoisXY.com .

make sure your dns setting is correct follow this :In the Windows Control Panel, >go to Network Connections.> Open 'Local
Area Connection' and select 'properties'.

Doubleclick on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

check or Select 'Use the following DNS servers'. Put the correct dns address in the primary
address window. Leave the alternate blank. Close all the Windows. Try
browsing again

One possible reason could be the workgroup or domain settings.
Try clearing that and make the laptop work as a standalone computer, so it does not look for the configured workgroup/domain when you connect to the network in the internet cafe.

Verified that the Internet connection is working good

- Now if your connected to the wireless network but unable to access a website try this:

- Open the control panel
- Open the network connection
- Right click on wireless networks (Choose properties)
- Choose Internet protocol then click properties
- Assign DNS Server address (Preferred DNS: 4.2.2.2, Alternate DNS: 4.2.2.3)
- Leave the DCHP as obtain IP address

Hi hemgri,

the answer to this problem is unfortunately not that easy, because multiple reasons can cause this error.

It could be a simple DNS or DHCP service error, that can hopefully be fixed by restarting the services

1. Go to Start>Run and type "services.msc" and click ok
2. In the list look for "DHCP Client". Right-click and choose Stop
3. Then right-click "DHCP Client" again and choose Start.
4. Then look for "DNS Client". Right-click and choose Stop.
5. Once again right click "DNS Client" and choose Start.
6. Double-click your Internet Explorer button and all should be working now.

It is also possible that your DNS server is not working properly. What ISP do you have and what are your DNS servers? Try assigning a static DNS server.

1. Go to Control Panel>Network Connections.
2. Right-click on Local Area Connections and go to properties
3. Double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
4. Chose "Use the Following DNS server"
5. Type in 4.2.2.2 on the first line and 4.2.2.3 on the second line.(These are Verizon's DNS server.) Click OK.
   

We are just going to use theseDNS to see if there is something wrong with your ISP's DNS. Try browsing and see if it works. If it does, you can also use one of the open DNS servers instead of the one's from your ISP, i.e. OpenDNS's free DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

If this still doesn't work, then there is a possibility that your computer is infected with a virus. To do something about that would be too much for this forum, because it involves posting of 'HijackThis" logs. Have a look here, someone had the same problem. Try to find help there - the guys are really good and know what they're doing.

Please leave a comment, so I (and maybe others) can learn more about this.

Good luck!

Check out your internet connection and its settings, whether it is dial up or broadband oriented.
then you have to know about your ip address of dns server in the network setting places.
you just ping the ip address of dns server following as...

go to start, then run and type "cmd", and it shows the command prompt. type as following format.

ping 10.10.10.5 and press enter key.. this is the sample ip address only. if it gets reply, your dns server is ok. you can use internet. suppose, it wont comes, ask your service provider or support for another or different ip address of dns to check it out.
