Responding” Error?
DNS server not responding
While surfing the internet, on many occasions your browser must have shown 
an error message stating “DNS server not responding” or “DNS server 
isn’t responding“. You start freaking out about what went wrong with the 
website, browser, or internet connection. But things are way different from 
what you are assuming.
DNS server
This DNS server not responding generates an error when DNS fails to translate your hostnames 
into IP addresses. There can be multiple reasons that trigger this error message on your browser 
screen, which we will discuss in later sections of this post in detail.
But to your knowledge, most of the problems can be easily resolved with simple steps. The most 
common and effective method that would work is to restart your computer or switch to another 
web browser.
What is the meaning of DNS Server Not Responding Error?
First of all, when you enter your web address or hostname in the address bar of your web browser, it is sent to a 
nearby DNS server via your router, where it gets translated into a numeric IP address. During this translation process, if 
anything went wrong, the user will get notified by an error message on their web browser page stating “DNS server is 
not responding”. i.e your web browser has not been able to make a successful connection to the internet.
Generally, this type of error occurs from the user end, either due to the user having a poor internet connection or not 
properly configured DNS. It is also possible that the user has not updated their web browsers or even the server is 
busy.
