Sigh, I hate that I have no technical skills with a computer. This problem I have seems like its just one tiny fix but I cannot do it. My internet has been down since wednesday (at Uni's Lib) and
Cannot Communicate with Primary DNS Server" is what I get when I run windows wonderful diagnose and repair option over and over again.
I have looked on google and people seem to say usually you get some info from cmd and then go into the internet protocol and input stuff. None of that has worked for me. Anyone have this problem? I never had such nonsense happen before and some people in my searches seem to have implicated Vista as being the primary culprit.
So anyone know what this problem is and how to fix it?

set up a static IP? if it's a desktop and you know what your dns server is, then this might work
system restore is usually my last ditch effort b4 i go to a tech forum
|
Its my laptop, and im operating on the wireless network that the apartment complex provides. Although I even took it onto campus and it isn't working with the campus wireless network either. I also did a system restore and didn't do anything =(
|
hmm....and it doesn't sound like its a hardware thing either. imo, this doesn't sound like an easy fix; i think you either got a virus or someone messed with your system.
Can you connect to your router (if you know the password) at least?

Yeah look into open DNS. A DNS is a Domain Name Service: it takes your url strings and turns them into IP addresses. Open DNS offers the same kind of service as your Cable or DSL provider but with some better options including making custom domain pointers (like "TL" pointing to team liquid or something like that) as well as preventing your cookies from being sent to third parties (no ads on FB)
look into it!

Check to see if your laptop has wireless internet turned on. This happened to me once and I sent it in and the people told me it was just that the wireless internet was disaibled T_T
|
I had this exact problem and Open DNS fixed it for me
|
Open DNS did not work  I mean I need to be on the net to sign up for it as you need to sign up from the computer your doing it with.

Just to update those who tried to help: for one thanks guys.
Heh, I was messing around in command prompt today and I did something and later when I turned it on it worked. No idea -_-

call your ISP and find out the DNS server ip.
