DNS server not responding While surfing the internet, on many occasions your browser must have shown an error message stating “DNS server not responding” or “DNS server isn’t responding“. You start freaking out about what went wrong with the website, browser, or internet connection. But things are way different from what you are assuming.
DNS server This DNS server not responding generates an error when DNS fails to translate your hostnames into IP addresses. There can be multiple reasons that trigger this error message on your browser screen, which we will discuss in later sections of this post in detail. But to your knowledge, most of the problems can be easily resolved with simple steps. The most common and effective method that would work is to restart your computer or switch to another web browser.
What is the meaning of DNS Server Not Responding Error? First of all, when you enter your web address or hostname in the address bar of your web browser, it is sent to a nearby DNS server via your router, where it gets translated into a numeric IP address. During this translation process, if anything went wrong, the user will get notified by an error message on their web browser page stating “DNS server is not responding”. i.e your web browser has not been able to make a successful connection to the internet. Generally, this type of error occurs from the user end, either due to the user having a poor internet connection or not properly configured DNS. It is also possible that the user has not updated their web browsers or even the server is busy.
