Are these hosts on the internet, on the LAN, or both?

If on the LAN are any of the hosts you are trying to ping running Windows?

 

They are not LAN, they are on the internet - different sites (i could give you them but it is not important information, because my problem is global - i can't ping ANY site by name).

 

Open a (black) Command Prompt window:
Hold the Windows logo key and press r; in the Run box type cmd and click on OK.

Type the following commands:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

ping 8.8.4.4

ping yahoo.com

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

///// As you can see - i can ping by IP but not by name. Maybe it is some kind of configuration but i don't know what to do :/.

 

Thanks. Just wanted to see for myself and make sure I was understanding correctly.

Try a free Public DNS server.

 

Might try one of these as I had time to do a quick check for Sophia Cable Company DNS Servers got this.
http://dawhois.com/site/kabelnatv.net.html
DNS servers listed as -

NS1.SKKNET.NET 85.11.160.81
NS2.SKKNET.NET 85.11.160.82
NS3.SKKNET.NET 85.11.160.83
NS4.SKKNET.NET 85.11.160.84

 

Tried Google ... still doesn't work :X:X
The Bulgarian one ain't working again.
P.S: Either i am doing something wrong (though i am pretty sure i do it right - following the steps and changing some stuff in the TCP IPv4) or i am just totally bugged :/.

 

Make sure the following services are Started (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services).

DNS Client
Network Location Awareness
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

 

What router do you have?

Also just to confirm go to the Command Prompt and do this:

nslookup
server 8.8.8.8
google.com

If you get a non-authorative response then you may have not done the GoogleDNS correctly.

You may be right - about that i am not doing the GoogleDNS correctly because at step 2 and 3 my nslooklookup stops working and gives an error.

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup -debug www.google.com. 8.8.8.8
socket (dg) failed: Result too large
Server: UnKnown
Address: 8.8.8.8

socket (dg) failed: Result too large
socket (dg) failed: Result too large
*** UnKnown can't find www.google.com.: No response from server

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup www.google.com. 4.2.2.1
Server: UnKnown
Address: 4.2.2.1

*** UnKnown can't find www.google.com.: No response from server
Maybe that's the problem :/ ? What do you think?

 

You are not able to resolve by hostname, that's for sure. But can I ask did you type it with the dot at the end of .com? as in google.com.

 

Also what firewalls do you have?

 

Yes i typed it with "." (but even without the dot at the end it still gave me:

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup www.google.com 4.2.2.1
Server: UnKnown
Address: 4.2.2.1

*** UnKnown can't find www.google.com: No response from server)

And about the firewall - i tried to turn it off but it didn't fix the problem so i guess it is not from the firewall. It must be something else. Hmmm i can give you additional info which may help the case - I can't download windows updates, too (can't turn on the auto update option, no matter what i do).
And as an antivirus i use Avast.

P.S: By the way, when i use the nslookup command on www.google.com 4.2.2.1 it crashes sending an error "nslookup has stopped working". Maybe here somewhere is hidden the problem .. .?

 

What firewall do you have?

 

I don't know and i don't know how to check this actually .

P.S: If that's what you're looking for - (I am using Windows 7) Also on the advanced options on firewall and security i found this " Microsoft Management Console 3.0
Version 6.1 (Build 7600)."

 

You said you disabled it.

Do you have anything like Norton installed?

 

No. I have Avast though, but i disabled it and i still had the problem, so i guess it is not from it either.

 

*Bump*

I have exactly the same problem in Windows XP ("Ping request could not find host www.google.com") other than my nslookup actually works. Pinging by IP works as well.
I would appreciate if someone tells me whether this problem has been resolved.

It's good to know that at least i am not the only one with this problem

 

Zerkoto,

thanks a lot. So are you still trying to find a solution? Any progress since the last post that is in this thread?

 

Zerkoto,

No. I still have this problem and no one else posted anything useful yet. Though you can try the suggestions some people gave me here, they may work for you . And if you find anything which works for you tell me please - maybe i did something wrong.

 

I'm fighting this problem with nice folks from Bleeping Computer for 2 months. I've got a lot of help but no success yet. I also searched the web (that's how I found your thread) and found several references to similar problems but no solutions. If I resolve my problem I'll post it here.

 

Zerkoto,

I finally solved my problem although I don't know whether my solution will help you. I had the problem using XP. I had to uninstall SP3 and then instal it back. That olved the problem.

Good luck!
