DNS Error 1012

[atesz76]

Hi ,

I have a blue death crash . Events log says DNS client 1012.

What I need to provide to solve this problem?

Thanks Attila

A DNS client has nothing to do with P3D, I'm afraid.

Can you post the whole log entry here?

Definitely not a P3D problem, it's a network issue.

You might want to talk to your Internet provider.

That is strange . I could manage to take off than the crash is coming . I don't have any other problem with my pc just with p3d.

Do you have any suggestion what should I mention to the internet provider.

Thanks

Attila,

Do you have something running in the background accessing the web? Like a browser, iTunes or something else?

Hello atesz76,
Attila

Does your PC connect to a router on a home network?

Probably grasping at straws but you may want to consider checking this. This isn't my idea as I found it on another site regarding this error.

Check your %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ directory for a "hosts" file, if it doesn't exists create it and add

127.0.0.1 localhost to the file then save.

If you do have the file ensure it is readable by administrators, system and users.

My host file has this entry:

127.0.0.1 view-localhost # view localhost server

Thank you very much for your reply . The host is fine I have checked it already. The solution is to move to MSFS . I will wait a bit then bye bye . This morning I have reinstalled windows reinstall everything again but the problem there. P3D never helped me with any solution for many years. Answer always this is not p3d fault. No that is mine .

Does it happen every time you use P3D?

Hello,

Yes sure.

Not at all. This is the first time.

Two questions, one of which is a repeat:

1. Do you have something running in the background accessing the web? Like a browser, iTunes or something else?

2. Can you reproduce the error?
