Be it DNS Probe Failed Bad Config or any other error, I have a standard response to any bad internet prompt. I knock at the router, press in the wires, clear my history, restart my PC and/or try using a different web browser. I’ll add toggling network connections to the list, thanks to this site I found. Now only if 21st century science could prevent these errors so we didn’t have interruptions in our Netflix marathons.
What happens when DNS queries cannot be resolved?
nice idea now i can change my IP address.
