- What is ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED?
- Chrome could not convert the domain name (like google.com) into an IP address — DNS lookup failed completely. Either the domain doesn't exist, your DNS server is down, or your internet connection has dropped.
- Is this the same as DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN?
- Similar but distinct. NXDOMAIN means the domain definitively doesn't exist. NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED means the DNS lookup couldn't even complete — your DNS server may be unreachable entirely.
- How do I fix ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED?
- First check your internet connection. If other sites also fail, run ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt and switch your DNS to 8.8.8.8. If only one site fails, that domain may be down or expired.
