One laptop on network experiencing intermittent DNS connectivity to web

Since a general networking problem can seem like a DNS issue I would not immediately assume that it really is a DNS issue.

Try on that computer a free public DNS server.

Also, when you get the apparent DNS problem open a Command Prompt window and try the two commands:

ping 8.8.4.4

ping yahoo.com


If the first one fails you have lost internet access. If the first succeeds and the second fails you likely really do have a DNS issue.
