added the most obvious symptom of this problem: that nslook is working while ping -4 name.com is not

| Apr 29, 2015 at 21:00 | comment | added | john v kumpf | @Kris not the wintips link itself, but it pointed to Windows 7: Services - Restore Default Services in Windows 7 <sevenforums> which is a killer post which I had not seen before. Thanks! | |
| Apr 29, 2015 at 6:58 | comment | added | user38331 | Well then my last suggestion is this: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/… Or this: wintips.org/… Windows unfortunately doesn't really believe in repairing their native services easily, but you might somehow be able to uninstall or repair the DNS service. | |
| Apr 29, 2015 at 3:11 | comment | added | john v kumpf | @Kris already tried deleting (uninstalling) the interface (network adapter or NIC) in device manager. Windows auto-re-installs them. Did not try rebooting immediately after, but have rebooted many times since then. Did not help. If you read my post, i've tried just about everything. Notice that nslookup still works. As does browsing ti IP addresses. So I think i've narrowed it down to a corruption of the windows DNS client. Everything else checks out. Not sure how to debug that component specifically. | |
| Apr 28, 2015 at 18:47 | comment | added | user38331 | Well some of all the tunnel interfaces could be creating havoc somewhere, but they all seem to be in a disconnect state. Could you try deleting the interface and rebooting to see if that maybe fixes it? You can do it in device manager. Also try to disable all unneeded interfaces. | |
| Apr 28, 2015 at 13:50 | comment | added | john v kumpf | Thanks @Kris. Did you see that II posted the ipconfig /all output (we got the text; better anyway). See anything? I don't. Unless it's one of those adapters. | |

@vembutech Thanks for the attention, but I'm gonna have to down-vote your response. Reasons: Your command is really 2 commands. netsh int ip set dns as written is incomplete, but I already explained how I manipulate DNS, and gui vs cmd line doesnt matter, so your suggestion adds nothing. I tried setting DNS anyway and doing netsh winsock reset but it didnt work. If you at least explain(ed) yourself, I would not down-vote you. But as it stands, I must. Sorry.

| Apr 27, 2015 at 15:47 | comment | added | john v kumpf | @vembutech I can't do this right now, but I have a question: are you suggesting setting some DNS servers with that command? Or with no parameters it somehow resets to defaults. We have done this using the GUI, trying university DNS via automatic, and trying google and OpenDNS (as i said in OP). Does setting DNS servers via cmd line help more than via GUI? We have tried the winsock reset, but perhaps not immediately after setting a new DNS server. | |

| Apr 27, 2015 at 14:17 | comment | added | john v kumpf | The PC is remote from me (the superuser account holder) and obviously has no internet. I have a picture of the screen. I can post that, i guess, soon. In the meantime, what are you looking for? | |
