How to fix server IP address could not be found in windows 10

If you are facing error message like "Server IP address could not be found", When trying to open any website then in this article I will share two simple and quick ways to solve this problem.

A lot of windows 10 users are encountering an error message such as their chrome browser is not working properly and they are unable to access certain websites or showing an error message "Server IP could not found in Windows 10".

This error mainly arises when the "Domain Name" does not match its "IP Address". So I found two simple ways to fix that server IP could not found windows 10 error.

FIX 1 : Renew and Flush DNS.

Steps to fix server IP address could not be found windows 10 are following:

Step 1 : Open "Command Prompt" as Administrator.

Step 2 : After that execute all below mention commands one by one.

> Command 1 : Type "ipconfig /flushdns" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 2 : Type "ipconfig /registerdns" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 3 : Type "ipconfig /release" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 4 : Type "ipconfig /renew" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 5 : Type "NETSH winsock reset catalog" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 6 : Type "NETSH int ipv4 reset reset.log" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

> Command 7 : Type "NETSH int ipv6 reset reset.log" and then press "Enter" key to execute the command.

Once all commands execute successfully "Exit" the command prompt and then try to open the website which prompt error message "Server IP could not be found".

After that try to open that website again... If it work's then "OK" otherwise move to 2nd fix which is:

FIX 2 : Change DNS Server Settings.

Step 1 : Open "Control Panel".

Step 2 : Click on "Network and Internet" Settings.

Step 3 : Click on "Network and Sharing Center" Option.

Step 4 : Click on "Change Adapter Settings".

Step 5 : Now here right-click on your "Active" internet connection. In my case I have Wi-Fi as my active internet connection and then click on "Properties".

Step 6 : First select the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and then click on "Properties" button.

Step 7 : First choose "Use the following DNS Server Addresses" option and then set:

> Preferred DNS Server Address : 8.8.8.8

> Alternate DNS Server Address : 8.8.4.4

After that "Check" the "Validate Settings Upon Exit" and then click on "OK" button to save the changes.

Once you done that try again to open website that prompt "Server IP could not be found" and this time the website will be open without prompting you any error message.
