Suddenly, "DNS Server isn't responding"

[Clark Johnson1]

Working normally on my Surface Book... Internet connection just went away. ????

Other computers still connected fine. Only problem is Surface.

Ran Network Diagnostics, got "The DNS Server isn't responding"

Advice ? Why suddenly when nothing else was changing ?

Thanks, Clark

Obviously, first thing is to reboot and retry. If it's still a problem and you're using DHCP, try setting a static IP/DNS and use a public DNS like Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
