The most common cause is incorrect DNS settings, which might happen due to wrong network settings, a broken cache, or the DNS server being temporarily unavailable. Other reasons could be outdated network drivers or a wrong entry in the host file. In this article, we will discuss different solutions to solve this error.
1. Run the Network Troubleshooter
The Network Troubleshooter automatically finds and fixes network problems. When you use it, Windows looks for common issues like DNS errors, IP conflicts, or connectivity problems. It can also reset network settings to help get everything working properly again.
2. Change DNS Settings
A misconfigured DNS can stop your device from converting domain names into IP addresses, leading to errors. Changing the DNS settings to a reliable option lets your system avoid possibly faulty ISP DNS servers. This simple change can improve connection stability and speed, helping your system communicate with websites correctly and fix the problem.
3. Reset Network Configurations
Resetting your network settings can clear misconfigurations or corrupt data causing DNS issues. This process refreshes your TCP/IP stack, clears the DNS cache, and reinstalls network adapters, helping your device communicate correctly with the DNS server.
4. Restart the DNS Service
The DNS service might have glitched while using Chrome, causing the error message. This temporary failure can prevent websites from loading, but restarting the DNS service often resolves the issue.
5. Upgrade Network Adapter Drivers
Missing or outdated network drivers might be causing this issue on your computer. Updating or installing the correct drivers ensures that your device can handle network connections efficiently.
6. Clear Chrome’s DNS Host Cache
Chrome stores its own DNS cache to speed up internet browsing, but issues can arise if this cache becomes corrupted. We’ll use Chrome’s internal commands to reset this cache and see if the error message disappears.
8. Reinstall Chrome
Reinstalling Chrome can fix DNS issues by removing corrupted files or settings that block internet access. This resets the browser to its default state, clearing any problematic configurations. It also ensures you’re using the latest version, which may include network-related bug fixes. Now we will be reinstalling the software by following the guidelines below.
9. Reset Internet Settings
Internet Explorer is used by the computer to communicate with the Windows servers, and it is used for all tasks by the operating system that involves connecting to the internet. If it glitches, it can cause issues. We will solve this by resetting it completely.
