I have a modem that connects to my ISP (BSNL). Since the past week, the modem was acting weird. When the DSL connects, it stays around for a while until the modem establishes an internet connection. But right after a successful connection, the DSL drops and tries to connect again. Disconnected the Ethernet cable and tried. Same results.
Tried another modem. Same results. DSL drops right after making a connection to the internet.
I tried a third modem (without wifi). This time the DSL stays on forever after the internet connection is established. But other sorts of problem arises with DNS. Despite the DNS servers set, the resolution fails often. Especially when I switch between applications and browser.
1. Tried setting DNS to Google/OpenDNS. Same results.
2. Ran all these:ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew NETSH winsock reset catalog NETSH int ipv4 reset reset.log NETSH int ipv6 reset reset.log
Issues persist!
1. Checked for any proxies set. None found.
2. Restarted DNSClient and DHCPClient services and tasks. No joy!
3. The DNS failure is 100% when I open and close the torrents.
4. When there’s a DNS resolution error in the browser, I can still ping (ICMP) the servers with a successful response.
5. I have checked the MTU limit and there are no packet losses.
6. I have checked for malware. None found.
7. Installed wireshark and analyzed the connections. Nothing out of the ordinary.
8. Checked with different browsers (Chrome, FF, FF Nightly, Chrome Canary, Edge)
9. System File Checker Scan shows no issues.
10. I did not install any programs lately.
11. Contacted the ISP on multiple occasions and they were kind enough to reset my phone line multiple times. They have also confirmed that my line is fully operational without any issues.
12. Checked my hosts file. Other than Microsoft’s telemetry servers there are no rules set for any of the sites. Tried with clean hosts file too. Same results!
13. Troubleshooter finds no issues.Also,
1. All my drivers are up to date.
2. Windows is up to date.
3. No attenuation in my lines.I have no more options to try. I am starting to think this is an issue with my network config.
