Oh god, this is truly a nightmare.
I left my computer on while I went to get a coffee in town and came back about 20 minutses later to find my computer is slogging through some pretty hefty amounts of DNS bullshit. I'm really amazed that I even got this far as most websites simply throw "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" or "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_DNS".
I literally did nothing in between sessions to warrant any kind of problem. It just sat there paused on a Youtube video while I was out.
Things I have tried:
ipconfig /release1 /renew /flushdns /registerdns (i think that's what it was)
manually changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on both my network device and router
Disabled prefect data in Chrome
Power cycled my router
Double checked Firewall
Turned off Proxy (Hola)
Tried FireFox but issue persists there
I can ping 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
I'm really not sure where to go from there except giving Aliant a call but that'll likely be a pain in the ass too.
Ugh. Go figure MMO-C works but Google ain't having none of it.
Update: Uhhh...it seems to be working again.
