#1 Changing DNS Setting
Normally the DNS server obtains service set’s on automatically in your computer and sometimes it may be stopped working with chrome and that’s why we need to change that setting by manually entering the DNS server IP. We are using “Google Public DNS” server IP for our manual setup because is a FREE Domain Name System service offered by Google and the best part is, it’s providing domain name resolution for all host’s on the Internet. I divided this DNS setting changing tutorial according to the ‘operating systems’ as you can see listed below so, I’m starting with the windows DNS changing tutorial and for Mac and Linux, just skip this step and scroll down to see the tutorial for next OS which you’ve having. Changing My DNS IP to the Google Public DNS seems like the perfect solution I’ve found here, its 1 week from now and I don’t even have to change it back to the other one. Thanks for helping me.
#How To Change DNS In Windows

First start your windows Run Command by using “Windows key + R key” and then type the command name “ncpa.cpl” on the commander and click “OK”.
When it gets opened, click on the “change adapter settings” option from the left-hand side panel.
Now Right Click on the current active network adapter and then click on the properties option to get into the configuration mode (I’m doing this with my wifi adapter because I’m using wifi and if you’re using LAN wire cable then you’ll need to right-click on “LOCAL AREA NETWORK ADAPTER” or maybe “Ethernet” Adaptor, whatever suit your condition).
On the Properties window, you’ll have to Scroll down to the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” option and then click on it and after when you click on it, it will highlight the properties option and after that, you’ll have to click on that “properties” button too.
On that “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” window you can see there is an option named “Use the following DNS server addresses” listed and now you’ll have to select it and change the setting from “Obtain DNS server address automatically” to the other one.
After that, it will ask you to enter the IP address in both rows and you’ll just need to enter “8.8.8.8” in the Preferred DNS SERVER and “8.8.4.4” in Alternate DNS SERVER as you can see in the picture given below. And finally, click on “OK” to save the setting.
Now restart your computer to see the changes and its 50% possible your problem is gone and if it does not then move to our next step.

#2 Flushing DNS Setting
Normally your operating systems DNS client will automatically save the cache IP addresses or some other DNS kinds of stuff too, in order to speed up subsequent requests to the same hostname and because of some saved corrupted cached results, this problem can occur and that’s why it will need to be cleared from that saved cache storage in order for your network to communicate with the hostname properly. It’s possible your computer’s saved DNS cache got corrupted too and to fix it, you’ll need to flush all cached DNS from your computer and the given step below will help you to do it.

Disable Antivirus And Firewall – You can also try to fix this by disabling your antivirus program and the windows firewall feature too.
Update your Network Driver – I suggested some of my website users to update their network’s drivers and that did help most of the time.
