Can no longer access some websites on Microsoft Edge (Windows 10)

KeeperCP1 · Mar 10, 2021

Microsoft Edge 88.0.705.74 (Official version, 64 bits)
I followed this guide to create an Ad Hoc network for Nintendo DS Wiimmfi, but now i can no longer access many websites such as Scratch, Fandom or the official Microsoft website. I can't update Microsoft Edge because of the error code: 0x80072EE7. But i can't solve it, because the link didn't work. Not even Chrome worked. What do i do?!?

Are you able to ping the IP addresses of these sites? If so, your setup isn't able to properly resolve domain names, meaning your DNS settings aren't correct.

I tried Google's DNS (Primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4) and Cloudflare's DNS (Primary: 1.1.1.2, secondary: 1.0.0.2) but they didn't work. Actually, with these DNS, the websitse i can't visit are saying that i'm not connected to the internet. But i can still go to GBAtemp.

Cloudflare's DNS servers are 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (https://1.1.1.1/help). That may be the problem. You should also set your DNS servers in your router instead of your PC provided you have the ability to do so. Doing so means you should only have to ensure that your gateway address is correct. And the reason why you can access this site still is because of your DNS cache. Once that gets flushed and refreshed, you may be able to access these other sites. Of course, you may need to manually flush it after configuring everything.

OK I'll try it. I'll tell you when it works.

One question, do I use the 1.1.1.1 Warp app or do I use the DNS in my DNS settings?

Put it in your DNS settings. WARP is just a protocol that encrypts DNS queries so your ISP can't see the sites you visit. It's like DoH or DoT (DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS respectively), but a much faster protocol. It's entirely optional, and for your needs right now, I wouldn't worry with it. If you want to add some extra privacy to your network, though, I definitely recommend looking into it at a later time.

I tried your choice. But none of the websites that didn't work are fixed. I also tried using the IPv6 DNS (Primary: 2606:4700:4700::1111, secondary: 2606:4700:4700::1001)

Using IPv6 won't make a difference, and is less likely to be beneficial. Where are you entering these DNS servers? Because from the sound of it, your PC is attempting to use itself as the gateway, which it can't do unless you have it set up like a router. If your PC is attempting to also use the ad-hoc network, this would be the cause. Are you only connected to Wi-Fi, or are you also hardlined? This also won't work without an ethernet connection as your wireless chipset can't be in both client and router mode.

I think the problem comes from my Ad Hoc network, but i can no longer delete it because it's gone from my network adapter list

Joom · Mar 11, 2021

The service responsible for it may have stopped. Run this again with admin privileges:

Code:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

You may also need to reconfigure your physical adapter to go back to using the default settings. If your adapter's settings look anything like the screenshot below, that's the cause of the problem. Like I said, if the PC is attempting to use itself as the gateway, it can't.

"Thank you! Verrrrry much-a!"

Run this with admin privileges:

Code:

ipconfig /flushdns

Windows doesn't refresh DNS cache in a timely manner, so sometimes you have to force it.
