Google Chrome "resolving host" error on every DNS except OpenDNS

9,976

I had these problems for weeks using chrome on public wifi. I fixed it finally by disabling the "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" flag and now I have no problems. Type chrome://flags into the address bar and see all the chrome flags. Ctrl-F to search the page for "dns" and find the flag - disable it! Worked for me!

    Pretty much what the title says. I'm running Windows 8 x64, using a USB wireless adapter.

    Things I have tried

    -ipconfig renew/release/flushndns plus system restart

    -trying various DNS' (Google, etc.)

    -different wireless adapters

    It works fine with my ISP's DNS, which is OpenDNS. Thanks for the help, and sorry for any errors or any missing info.

      Have you tried disabling IPv6? Seems to be a suggestion on the Google forums.

      Just tried it. Didn't do anything.

      You don't describe what actions you perform to get the error. Does it occur when you go to every host every time?
