The Solution for DNS PROBE FINISHED NXDOMAIN Error

After several searches and tests, I was able to resolve the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN or DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN chrome error. This error is displayed because of a problem in locating the site in DNS servers (DNS lookup).

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN are errors that may appear in the browser every time you try to access a web page. Error tells you for certain problems with DNS network. Typically, this problem is related to the DNS settings or other problems with your Internet settings poor. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error usually appears in the Google Chrome browser. However, these problems can interfere with Windows, Mac or Android system. If there is something wrong with the Internet's DNS settings, Chrome can display a grey window with one of these messages:

1. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Method 2: Definition of the IP:

We will now obtain a default IP address, to do this open the window described in solution # 1 and then check "Use the following IP address:".

Put the information as follows (by changing X by a value between 2 and 255):

IP address: 192.168.1.X // PC

IP Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 // Automatic

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 // Router IP

At the command prompt enter this command:

netsh winsock reset

Then click on the button "Restore all tests to default".

This will re-initiate all of the experimental functionality of Google Chrome and it should fix your browser.
