Once things are working, you can run dnsmasq without the -no-daemon and -log-queries options, so it will start in the background and you don't need to keep a Terminal window open. Things should begin to work nicely again. Open Network Preferences and make sure that 127.0.0.1 is the only DNS server (network preferences -> advanced -> DNS -> add 127.0.0.1) Run dnsmasq with sudo dnsmasq -no-daemon -log-queries -C nf.
Put this in a nf file that is in the same directory as the nf file (nb: not /etc/nf): nameserver 8.8.8.8
Build dnsmasq (download the tgz and make or brew install dnsmasq). So, for now, I've "solved" the problem by running dnsmasq locally. I've experienced the same problem… And while restarting mDNSResponder does seem to "work", restarting it a couple of times every hour sort of sucks. # or the DNS query routing mechanisms used by most processes on # This file is not used by the host name and address resolution also flushing the DNS cache was done but it didn't help sudo dscacheutil -flushcache. flags: qr rd ra QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0ġ041 IN CNAME 38 IN CNAME 8794 IN CNAME e3191.c.Į3191.c. >HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 11298 $ dig > DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 > (1 server found) nslookup and dig both work fine $ nslookup 8.8.8.8Ĭanonical name = canonical name = canonical name = e3191.c.

It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. The server at can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. It doesn't work, see Google Chrome output: Have you tried using 8.8.8.8 (google) or any of the OpenDNS. I've also tried Google's 8.8.4.4 and 205.171.3.65 (which I found from GRC's DNS Benchmark to be the fastest).
This is a company DNS server that is given with DHCP, it works well for

They can use DNS in a Windows 7 virtual machine (VMware Fusion 3.1.3) running on OS X. Some of my co-workers are having troubles on their Macs - DNS resolution does not work in Mac OS X.
