Ping request could not find host HOST. Please check the name and try again .
ping cannot find host but nslookup on a host works just fine:
Ping request could not find host HOST. Please check the name and try again.
Restart the DNS Client Service in Windows Services to resolve this one. A few other commands to try:
- ipconfig /flushdns
- ipconfig /registerdns
Following this, check eventviewer why it stopped working, to begin with. The service is started using:
C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService
Alternately, stopping the caching daemon (DNS Client) in Services also works. Also check Event Viewer -> Custom Events -> Administrative Events for any failures. After doing the above, disable and reenable the network interface.
Additional commands to try:
- route /f
- netsh winsock reset catalog
- netsh int ip reset reset.log
After all this, the issue was resolved on our side. Alternatively, reconnect to the network if originally connected via WiFi.
Cheers,
