Getting ERR_DNS_FAIL when loading a local webserver page?


Win-XP Browsers Hang on page load - (waiting for…)Two hours or so after restarting my computer, some webpages don't load unless I restart againSome websites never finish loadingChrome & IE can't access local website, while Firefox can. How to debug?Mac unable to browse to any websites hosted at a single IPPictures and Menus aren't loading correctly on certain CNN pages, ABCDNS works on one WiFi network, not on anotherChrome and Firefox not loading (Windows 10)Google Chrome doesn't load web pageSlow Page Loads in all browsers with long idle time to start

When I go to a page hosted on a machine on a local network, I get a "The page cannot be found" error with "ERR_DNS_FAIL" in the title.



Any ideas what this is or why I am getting it on my computer? I've tried in Firefox, IE and Chrome.
Other computers on the network load the page just fine.



I'm pretty sure it is from the hostname. I am able to access the page if I browse to it using the IP of the machine. However, it has two hostnames and both are giving the ERR_DNS_FAIL error.



I tried restarting the browsers or rebooting the machine, but neither helped.



EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED ON ITS OWN!

          This error could be generated by any proxy you're going through. Can you open up a command line and nslookup the hostname?
