DNS server not responding?

hey sorry if im re-opening an old thread but i really need help here, im having the same issue with the same error message although my situation is the other way around. i can connect to the internet when im running automatic find DNS server but i get the error message still when i diagnose, so i followed what you said and my DNS IP isnt 192.168.1.1 it is completely random so i manually changed it to the right one but then i cannot get an internet connection. its confused me alot now so im not sure what to do
here is my ipconfig /all

i also have problems with my connection at the moment, i play games such as world of warcraft and whenever i go into high populated areas my internet lag spikes and then disconnects. im guessing this is because of the DNS issue im having? it dosnt just effect the game though it effects my whole internet so im not sure what is going wrong. by the way im running of a brand new desktop with pretty good specs also my internet is new, cable broadband netgear ultimate home modem so i dont see why im having such problems with it. its like the connection is worse then my older more crappier connection :S

Primary error is your dns server setting - 192.168.1.1 was correct for the earlier poster but not for you. It should generally be the same as your router IP address and in your case this is 192.168.0.1 - note the minor difference of zero instead of one. You may set this manually but by selecting "automatic settings your router should set it to that value for you. The lease time fr your IP address assignment also looks very short - your IP will need renewing about once every hour - not necessarily a great problem but you should look at your router and see if you can change the IP address lease time to some longer. Many router will let ou set the lease to expire "never". Details of how to do it vary from one router to another but you basically need to enter the router address - 192.168.0.1 - into the address bar of your browser).

oh yes sorry i did put my 192.168.0.1 IP address in and still the same thing happened. i went into my modem settings to find lease time settings and i found under LAN IP a part called DHCP Client Lease Info, is this what im looking for? it has 3 different onces with MAC Address and IP Address and Expire dates? on the third one it has *STATIC IP ADDRESS* though?

i had a look into the lease timer and i cant change the timing on it so it dont think that is to much of an issue, the problem is this dns server error. ive tried everything and its not fixing it, doing it manually or automatic nothing is working please does anyone know what i can do to fix it?

I see you also have IPv6 enabled on your pc. It is very unlikely you are using it and it has been known to cause problems. You should disable IPv6.

Also, not sure what you mean by this expression: "but i get the error message still when i diagnose". If you are connecting ok to the internet with automatic address assignment why not just leave it at that?

It looks like the DNS is my issue as well. However when i went to the network and sharing center and then to change adapter settings to adjust the DNS, all i get is a blank screen. Help would be appreciated.

when i went to the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]network [COLOR=blue !important]and [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]sharing [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]center[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and then to change adapter settings to adjust the DNS, all i get is a blank screen.

At exactly which stage of accessing the adapter to change dns settings do you get a blank screen?

as soon as i click on change adapter settings to the left, the next screen is blank and i cant access anything

I re did the ipconfig after trying to tinker with the problem and now it has changed. my internet speed is also extremely slow recently getting round .5 mbps download and .2 upload. very clueless on what i can do at this point.
