Connection issues

[The Wookie 11]

next attempted fix was to follow the different methods as mentioned in

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2779064/-your-computer-appears-to-be-correctly-configured--but-the-device-or-r

 

Result - Still no solution.

 

my final resort is now to contact the ISP, however I won't be able to do so for several hours due to personal reasons.

 

Will notify what the response is here or if the issue fixes itself within that time

tried one final fix from:

 

http://www.techbae.com/dns-server-not-responding-error-windows-fix/

 

and none of those fixes worked for my issue.

 

only fix i didn't attempt from that list was reinstalling windows.

have you tried looking into your anti virus 

 

avast is infamous for causing software conflicts, which in particular seems to be the case with your AoC error

I am attempting to remove avast now and replace it with a more acceptable antivirus.

 

the main thing that makes me iffy about this whole thing is - I didn't start getting any of these issues until I moved houses and connected to a different ISP, however this ISP I was with BEFORE I moved to the other house to begin with.

 

(if that sounds confusing - Lived in house A with ISP 1, moved to house B with ISP 2, then cancelled ISP 2, and moved back into house A with ISP 1)

 

and ISP 1 never gave me issues when I was originally in house A.

Ok issue has been resolved!

 

I contacted the ISP

 

and the simple fix was a factory reset of the modem - which i had done incorrectly, I thought it was simply, press the button and that's it, I didn't realize I needed to HOLD the button down for 10-20 seconds.

 

I feel like quite the idiot now.

 

Thread can now be closed and used as a reference for others.

 

Thank you to everyone who had an input to my issue!
