Welcome to HP Forums,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand there's an issue with the DNS server as it isn't responding,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

Did you check for any other HP Forum posts to help resolve your concern?

If you haven't, Here's a related HP Forums post that seems to have helped others: Click here for the steps.

Then try these steps in the order:

• Open command prompt window by clicking on Run –> cmd (run with administrator privilege)
• netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt This will reset the ip
• type netsh winsock reset. This command will create a prompt to restart the computer, don’t restart now. This will help reset Winsock settings.
• Although resetting Winsock is not related to this error, this might be helpful in fixing other issues which can lead to this error.
• type ipconfig /flushdns This will help in flushing the stored DNS cache.
• Restart the computer and check if the issue is fixed.

Keep me posted,
