Unable to Receive DNS Responses

  • 772

Operating System - Windows 2008 R2 Service Pack - Service Pack 1 IP Address - 10.50.1.111 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Gateway - 10.50.1.1 DNS Server - 10.50.1.90

Other servers are using 10.50.1.90 as their DNS server and are not having any problems. This tells me that the problem is not with the DNS server.

I can ping 10.50.1.90.

The firewall is disabled.

If I run nslookup and query the name of 10.50.1.90 (OfficeDC1.office.org) it says, "*** [10.50.1.90] can't find OfficeDC1".

If I run nslookup and change the server to 8.8.8.8 and query google.com it says, "*** [8.8.8.8] can't find google.com: No response from server".

Any thoughts?

  1. Have you tried restarting? Or specifically restarting the service?

    ipconfig /flushdns

    and restart DNS Client service?

    In this case, the problem had nothing to do with DNS. The problem was the TCP stack was corrupted. I uninstalled and reinstalled the network adapters and ran the command below.

    netsh winsock reset

    After the command ran I restarted the server and the DNS problems were resolved.
