I cannot get to a specific website. It keeps saying your DNS server might be unavailable. I have never had an issue with the site before and have tried from my desktop as well as my laptop. Other people can get to the site.

    Hi Jaci. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Run the Intenet Connection Troubleshooter at Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Supply the address choosing Help Me Connect to a Specific webpage.

    Try another browser. I would have several browsers on your task bar so there's always one that's best for the task. I use Firefox, Edge and Chrome in that order of preference. It's easy to share bookmarks between all of them in their settings under Import Favorites from another Browser.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
