asked on Site cannot be reached ONLY when connected to modem
When I try to access a specific site, I get this error message:
This site can’t be reached
__.org’s server DNS address could not be found.
Search Google for ___ org
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
![Screenshot of error message]()
I have tried flushing my DNS cache using this methodology: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214981288-Flushing-your-DNS-cache-in-Mac-OS-X-and-Linux.
I have power cycled my modem and router
I have connected to my modem via Ethernet cable, bypassing the router
What do you recommend?

Hi John,
I did that and it did not help.
I also did a hard reset of my modem (using a pen tip on the reset button).
What else do you recommend?
Thanks,
Josh

Still connecting to the modem, try the following TCP/IP Reset
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator
Then netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Also, ipconfig /flushdns followed by net stop dnscache followed by net start dnscache
Then restart the computer
See if that helps.

Thanks! Will that command work on a Mac?
No. You need to find a MAC reset command. I think you can reinstall the Network card to do this.

I have renewed the DHCP lease.

Great! Thank you so much!
I would not leave it at that. Change it back to DHCP and look at what entry it gets.
Actually, it is the DNS server of Google, it means that Google provides the DNS and maintenance of this service, which means it is "more reliable" than some another DNS servers due to the fact that is maintained by one of the biggest IT companies of the world.

Thanks. I tried to do this, but I'm not sure what you mean, exactly. Here's a video: https://monosnap.com/file/UbEUWWD4thNSTMftVQwlLcOGL1g4q8.
Please let me know what you recommend.

My point is that if this is an environment where there is an internal DNS server (or the router acting as a DNS forwarder), it should point to the internal DNS server which in turn forwards requests to 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220, 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4 etc., it is not solving the root cause by specifying a static, external DNS server on the client side
@fialkoff: Thanks and I was happy to help.
So you connect via router and it works; you connect direct to modem and it does not. Correct?
Call the ISP and ask them to flush the modem and then connect. Do the latter while they are on the phone with you.
