This Dns clinet error problem haunts me. Is there a real fix?
jraju:
Hi, Admin, moderators and experts, long time no see.
My system collapsed after i downloaded some latest updates. The first symptom is deaddd slow computer browsing and then ultimate death of pc. It was update regarding meltdown virus, and it just collapsed intel mobos pc, as bolt from Blue, i mean BSOD.
Ok coming to this problem.
This is error No.1014 dns client. On every logon and logoff, the internet light on the modem would turn red, followed by dsl line blinking and then reestablishing the connection.I have tried all sorts of tricks, but could not overcome this error, which for the past few days is annoying. I checked the dsl connection and everything is good.But on every log on and log off, i am seeing the foregoing symptoms of internet loss and gain.
I am enclosing the error logs, so that experts may give the solutions.
The error name resolution for xxx.com timed out, messages .
Please see the last line of the log and ignore others.
Those are the errors, when i tried to solve the error and subsequently corrected thro System Restore

Hi JR - which version of Windows are you using ?
Win 10 had KB4056892 to counter Meltdown and Spectre whereas Win 7 had KB4056894.
The latter gave me a BSOD on my Win 7 laptop and has since been withdrawn and so far MS haven't released a modified one for it.
However, MS has released KB4058258 for Win 10 to resolve the performance problems caused by 6892 but I hadn't noticed any performance problems on my Win 10 machines and have since installed 8258.
If you are using Win 10 then do a manual check for updates and you should get KB4058258
If you are using Win 10 and you still get DNS problems then there's a cmd you can use to reset your network adapters.
Open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -
necfg -d
shutdown /r /t 00
After the reboot, go into Device Manager/View/Show hidden devices and expand Network adapters to ensure your wireless and Ethernet adapters are still showing - if not then redo those cmds and check Device Manager again.
That netcfg cmd is specific to Win 10 and isn't available on earlier versions of Windows, although there are other netcfg cmds that are which you can see by opening a cmd prompt and entering netcfg /?
I downloaded and Saved InSpectre from this article to run it as an admin to disable Meltdown protection but didn't notice any difference in performance even though it said performance was poor on this Intel based machine.

Hi, Thanks for a possible fix. But my computer is having windows 7.
But why this error and internet loss at every log on and log off.
Please give the commands for win 7. I will also try
I tired network fix from AIO tool.
Why it is happening Boggins?
Boggin:
If you have restored back to before you got that update then it could be either your DNS servers or your router.
I use Level 3's DNS servers as I was having problems with Google's 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Level 3's are 209.244.0.3 and 209.244.0.4
I assume you know how to change those on your computer ?
I'd also power cycle the router by turning it off as well as your computer and disconnect all cables for a couple of minutes.
Reconnect the cables then switch just the router on until all of its lights are on and then switch the computer on to see if that has resolved it.
If it's an ISP supplied router then you could factory reset it by sticking something like a darning needle or straightened paperclip in the pin hole on the back of the router until it switches itself off and goes through the reboot procedure.
As ISP routers are pre-configured you would only need to change the channel to what you prefer as well as changing the password back to what you had, as you shouldn't keep the default one.
That may change the external IP address for you but switching the router off etc. as for a power cycle but leave it off for at least 30mins will also change the ext. IP address which can resolve some connectivity problems.
If none of those resolve then I'd contact your ISP for a change of router.
I assume you have your update settings set to Check for but let me choose... ?
Boggin:
There are a couple of cmds you could try and they are -
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
shutdown /r /t 00
and then see how things are after the reboot.
