Howdy Boggin,

Well, I do not see any error as:

ipconfig /flushdns
     and
ipconfig /registerdns

were the commands you had in the script.

anyway, I performed them again and then at START I did

inetcpl.cpl    ENTER

AND THEN CHANGED PAGE TO WWW.GOOGLE.COM and APPLY and OK

I still get DNS may be unavailable message

Boggin:
It's in your Reply #3 as ipconfig /flushdna

Do you have 5 bars on your wifi icon in the taskbar ?

Let's see if changing the DNS servers will do anything.

Go Start - type ncpa.cpl and press enter.

Right click on your wireless adapter and select Properties.

Uncheck the box for (TCP/IPv6) then click on (TCP/IPv4) then on Properties.

Check the bottom button for Use the following DNS servers and in the top row of boxes type 209.244.0.3

Tab down to the lower row and type 209.244.0.4

Check the box to validate settings upon exit - OK - Close where the trouble shooter will pop up and should say it couldn't find any problems.

These are Level3's DNS severs and are the ones I use.

Do you have the same problem when you Ethernet connect ?

You can change those DNS servers the same way for the Ethernet adapter as for the wireless adapter and uncheck the box for (TCP/IPv6) in there as well.

Hi Boggin,

My fault for not make it clear that I have a wired broadband CAT 6 connection.

I thought I could find the properties of that and follow your instruction re PROPERTIES.

bUT, i COULD NOT FIND THAT.
wHAT SHOULD i DO SINCE i HAVE A WIRED CONNECTION.

iT CONNECT TO lan AND OTHER MACHINE IN THE lan FINE.

sorry caps.

Hi, Freecat, what the troubleshoot error . Please post that to enable Boggin to give fixed solution.
The exact error when you troubleshoot your connection

Boggin:
It doesn't matter if you just have an Ethernet connection, the procedure is the same.

Right click on that connection and select Properties from the dropdown and then you will see something like my first pic where you would uncheck the box for (TCP/IPv6) as that has been known to cause connectivity problems.

You would then click on (TCP/IPv4) which would activate the Properties button - second pic and the third pic shows it as set up with those DNS servers.
