I cannot connect to the internet.
I am having issues resolving DNS (Error 105) in all browsers on my Dell XPS 15 laptop running Windows 8 64x. There is also a dual boot with linux Mint running that has the same issue. I am studying abroad this semester and now that I have landed in Austria I have this issue. Everything worked just fine two days ago in the states, but I have a hard time believing that the locale is the source of this issue.
There is no modem in the room for me to power cycle or reset. Also my roommate can connect just fine with his MacBook Air and his Windows 7 VM. I can see other computers on the network and in the properties of my adapter it states that IPv4 has internet but IPv6 has no internet. Currently I am using my roommates usb network adapter to post this, so that works. I have narrowed the issue down to the network adapter since the problem persists through both linux and windows.
Also I should note that yesterday after I reset all my advanced settings in 'Internet Options' I had connection, although it was slow. After a computer restart the issue came back, and any attempt at recreating the solution did not work. So it could be an intermittent DNS issue as well.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
- ipconfig /flushdns
- ipconfig /release & renew
- re intsall network adapter driver
- reset netwokr adapter (linux and windows)
- used malwarebytes and ccleaner
- set DNS to google's public DNS
- Turned off firewall
- Changed computer and group name
- Tried with ipv6 off
Here are the results from a ipconfig /all in windows:

Also I went into the logs and found a few interesting errors and warnings. -The ICS_IPV6 failed to configure IPv6 stack. Event ID: 34001
AND
-The name "WORKGROUP :1d" could not be registered on the interface with IP address 193.170.132.193. The computer with the IP address 193.170.132.202 did not allow the name to be claimed by this computer. Event ID: 4321
I am running out of ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
