So last Friday I decided to hop on my laptop and go online using Chrome but I got this error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

What da heck does that mean and can someone help me. Only my laptop on the whole network is experiencing this. Every fix I've read about didn't work. Please someone help me ASAP. Thanks.

chrome uses IE proxy settings so check if IE has set a proxy

Can you connect using other browsers like IE or Firefox
In IE: Tools Menu -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab ->Lan Settings > uncheck "use a proxy server" or reconfigure the Proxy server again in case you have set it previously.

In Firefox in Tools Menu -> Options... -> Advanced Tab -> Network Tab -> "Settings" under Connection and uncheck the proxyserver, set it to No Proxy.
