What Causes this Error?
The list of possible causes is not long and it’s something you might expect from a DNS problem. The key to resolving this problem lies in its cause and we highly recommend you check out this list:
Solution 1: Update or Roll Back Your Network Drivers
To be honest, updating and rolling back the driver are two opposite actions but it all depends on which driver brought the error to your computer. If you are running old, no-longer-supported drivers on your computer, then an update is almost certain to solve the problem. However, if the problem started to occur after you have updated your driver one way or another; a rollback might be good enough until a new, more secure driver is released. You should also update or rollback the network device you are using to connect to the Internet (Wireless, Ethernet, etc) but performing the same process all of them should do no harm.
