Our internet connection at the office went down for a bit yesterday, and now Chrome can't find youtube.com. I get the ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error, even though the site loads perfectly fine in other browsers, and I can access other Google sites. I've tried clearing cookies, dumping cache, releasing and renewing ipconfig, everything I can think of, to no avail. What other options are there to try. I'm running Windows 8.1.

A less extreme way to clear the DNS cache (a potential source of this issue) is to go the chrome://net-internals/#dns page in Chrome and then click the "Clear host cache" button. This will clear the cache in Chrome and hopefully fix your issue.

4Note that if you click that link in Chrome, the colon is edited out automatically. Add the colon manually, or copy/paste the link into the search bar. – Zaaier – 2015-06-10T22:22:48.200
I have to do this several times a day. I wish there was some way to permanently fix this. – Daniel Watrous – 2016-04-30T18:15:07.557
Have you tried turning off DNS prefetching off? – Ramhound – 2014-02-05T19:26:35.970
2You said you released/renewed IP address, but have you flushed your DNS cache?
ipconfig /flushdnsand thenipconfig /registerdnsMake sure Chrome is closed before performing the two commands. Let us know what happens. – JSanchez – 2014-02-05T19:27:38.733@JSanchez - While I agree they should use those commands. It might be worth pointing out that IE and/or Firefox both work for the user. I wonder if the user has even tried simply restarting the computer. So its unlikely a system level DNS problem. – Ramhound – 2014-02-05T19:34:46.543
