Default Can't find server error sporatically with mn 700



Every once in a while my computer cannot connect to the
internet. It gives me the "can't find server error" but
then 2 minutes later is works. I am still connected to
the internet because if there is a download in the
background it keeps going but any new internet explorer
windows I open up I get the "can't find server error".
My router is the mn-700

Default Can't find server error sporatically with mn 700

Typically it's a problem with an ISP DNS server or simply
Internet traffic congestion. SOmetimes, you simply didn't
enter the proper DNS settings on the router, or the ISP
changed the DNS server.

You could double check that the DNS settings for TCP/IP for
your network card are set to be obtained from the server,
and that you have the proper DNS server settings in the
router as specified by the ISP.

Finally, you may want to run Command Prompt and enter
tracert domain.com (without the http://) for the web site
you are trying to access and for which you are getting
errors. You may want to retry several times since it's a
sporadic problem. The results from traceroute should be in
the 100's (100, 200, 500...) for each hoop. Sometimes there
are * which represent simply routers that are not
responding to tracert or timeouts. This will give you an
idea where the problem is.

If you get "Can't resolve DNS" from tracert, do a tracert
to the IP address of your DNS server (or servers). The IP's
are listed on the first page of the router.
