ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED, no Internet, please help

[EquallyFoolish]

I went to cmd and typed the command correctly: "netsh winsock reset" and it says "The requested operation requires elevation <Run as administrator>. I am on the user account that is the administrator. What do I do?

You have to run the command prompt as administrator (elevated). Go to the start menu, type "cmd". It will show in the list. Right click the entry and "run as administrator".

I've tried running "netsh winsock reset" in the commad prompt but it brings up this message, "The requested operation requires elevation <Run as Administrator>.

My question is, How do I work in the command prompt as an administrator? My account on my laptop is the only one and I double checked to make sure that it is set up as an administrator.

If it helps, when I enter the command prompt it starts as " C:\Users\Tyler "

i tried the netsh winsock reset thing as an administrator but cannot get rid of my name on command line and i get an error that says netsh winsock reset is not recognized as an internal or external command

Another satisfied customer !
I joined just to say thank you.
netsh winsock reset (and a reboot)
from the DOS CMD shell worked immediately for me after a day of frustration.

I didn't change anything to be ADMIN, but my user is an ADMIN.

For the record, an automatic Windows 7 update occurred at 3am last night, which may have been the culprit. I saw the update as I was restoring my computer from a checkpoint backup (which didn't help). I'm running on 64bit Windows 7.

Also, Google Chrome shows the error "ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED", not sure if IE or FireFox does. When I was having the No Internet problem, I was still able to ping www.yahoo.com and get to all of my home networked devices. IPCONFIG /All looked normal to me. IPCONFIG /flushdns or /renew got me nowhere.

Anyway....netsh winsock reset did it. Thank you !

Joepa,
In the DOS shell, when it shows your user name as "c:\user\joepa>", just type CD \ <Enter>.
I looked for netsh.exe on my Windows 7 box for you and found it under Windows\system32.
Good luck

Tried it all. Still no internet. It is connected. Getting this message. "netsh is not recognized as an internal or external command". Any suggestions?

 

[LarryHoughton]

Search your computer for netsh.exe

 

[Leegraham03]

Found it! Thanks! Forgot to right click and sign in as administrator. Feel silly.
