Hi @Myron Ray

It looks like your DNS Server is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is localhost).

1) If you run the DNS Server service on your server then you should check the configuration/status.

2) If you don't run DNS on this server either change your adapter's setting to the DNS Server's IP Address or you can simply use 8.8.8.8 (instead of 127.0.0.1) which is Google's DNS.
