Optionally add manual DNS addresses (seemed to be working just via DHCP but I still like manual DNS settings):ĥ. Click the plus sign and create a new location name eg: Milky Way Galaxy At the top there is a combo box for Location, expand it and select Edit Locations.Ĥ.
I suspect adding a new location resets some hard to find or hidden options that may be causing the issue.Īdding a location seems to band-aid the issue for awhile, I have done this twice in the last six months, first time was like magic, doing it again seems to be working.ģ.
