UPC: windows desktop cannot load webpages

Brian017

I have a UPC 50mb connection with the Thompson router connected via Ethernet to my windows desktop.

Although, it acknowledges it has an connection in the bottom right of the taskbar (the two computers with a globe icon), it won't load any webpages (says the connection was reset).

IPv4 connectivity: Internet
IPv6 connectivity: local
Media State: Enabled
Duration: 00:15:39
Speed: 100mbps

When I diagnosed the connection with Windows I got an "cannot communicate with DSN sever (89.101.160.5)" error.

On my iPad wirelessly, normal webpages like boards, google and Facebook load no bothers but streaming apps like TuneIn and Sky Go cannot find the Internet connection.

Tried rebooting the modem many times without luck. Any ideas? :-)

Have you tried changing DNS servers on your pc?

It's set to obtain the DSN servers automatically at the moment. What DNS server should I enter? Sorry for all the questions, I'm not that technically minded

Use Googles DNS servers.
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
