Guys just moved into new office and my elderly Sony PCs can't get online through the apple wifi
It says server dns cannot be found.
Any clues ? I'm not running win 10

As no-one has replied... If you get a connection to skype you have connectivity. Try manually setting your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Go to settings,
Adaptor settings,
Properties
Internet Protocol Version 4
Propereties
Leave Obtain an IP address automatically
Click Use the following DNS servers
Enter 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

Ok all the way out and test
That was it totally, we moved office and my PC wouldn't get online and your cure was bob on - many thanks
