<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Internet Protocol Version version 4 is mostly used worldwide and is known as IPv4. But it’s a bit outdated, launched back in 1981. On the other hand, the IPv6 launched back in 1995 is seen as the future of Internet Protocol. But in a few cases, IPv6 causes problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resolving host error occurs due to IPv6 for a lot of users. Disabling it fixes the issue. Follow the below steps to disable the use of IPv6 on your Windows computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Press Windows Logo Key<\/strong> and R<\/strong> to open Run and type control panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 2: <\/strong>In the Control Panel, select Network and Internet <\/strong>and then Network and Sharing Ce<\/strong>nter. Now go to Change adapter settings<\/strong>. Here you can see all the active networks on your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 3:<\/strong> Right-click<\/strong> on the active network and select Properties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 4: <\/strong>In the properties settings, you will see different items find Internet Protocol Version 6(TCP\/IPv6)<\/strong>. It will be checked by default click on the box to uncheck it<\/strong>. Once you have disabled IPV6, click OK<\/strong> to save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 5:<\/strong> Now restart your computer. The resolving host issue will likely get solved in Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>3. Disable MalwareBytes or any other Antivirus Software<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe above fix worked for most users facing resolving host issues, but a few found that the issue returned after a day or weeks. If you have already tried it and the issue returned. Now try the next fix I am providing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most Windows PC users use Antivirus software. The most popular ones are Malwarebytes, Avast, etc. If you have one such antivirus, especially Malwarebytes, try disabling it. The developers of Malwarebytes have publically accepted responding to a query in their forum that there is an error between them and Chrome causing the issue. Following this fix alone has fixed issues for thousands of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>4. Clear DNS Cache in Google Chrome<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe use Google Chrome every day and use it until we encounter an error. As a long-time Chrome user, do you know that Chrome stores DNS cache? Years of usage with not clearing the DNS cache will create a huge cache size on your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can lead to resolving host errors. I have read a lot of comments clearing the DNS cache in Chrome fixed the issues. Doing so is very easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just type chrome:\/\/net-internals\/#dns<\/strong> in your address bar and hit enter. You will end up reaching the below page. You can see an option to Clear the <\/strong>host cache. Tap on it to delete all DNS cache stored on Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>5. Change DNS Servers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe resolving host error means Chrome is slow to load up web pages. It might be caused due to slow DNS Servers. Most users rely on the default DNS server provided by their ISP. They do not even know they can change DNS Server to something like Google or Cloudflare. Follow the below steps to change DNS Servers on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>On Windows<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nStep 1:<\/strong> Press the Windows Logo Key<\/strong> and R<\/strong> to activate run. Type and enter the control panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 2: <\/strong>In the Control Panel, select Network and Internet <\/strong>and then Network and sharing center<\/strong>. On the left side, tap Change adapter settings<\/strong>. You can now see the active networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 3:<\/strong> Now select the connected network and right-click on it<\/strong>. Select the last option, Properties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 4: <\/strong> In properties, you can see different items that the connected network is using. Scroll down to find Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP\/IPv4)<\/strong>. I will recommend you to use IPV4 only as IPV6 may cause issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 5: <\/strong>After selecting IPv4, click on Properties<\/strong>. Now, update the DNS server address. Here you will need to enter Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEnter 1.1.1.1 <\/strong>as preferred DNS Server and 1.0.0.1 <\/strong>in Alternate DNS server. It will change your DNS Server to Cloudflare. If you want to use Google DNS Server, enter 8.8.8.8 <\/strong>in the preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 <\/strong>in the alternate DNS server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
