I think I've found the culprit. I had to turn off Malwarebytes 'web protection' feature. I now have no problems resolving FQDNs using the ping command and everything internet and server-related is now 'green' in the app. The Nslookup command worked just fine and had me wondering what was wrong. I should have tried Malwarebytes earlier, just didn't want to give up on that feature. I'd be happy to send my logs, but not sure if they'd be useful (or where located?). In any event, thanks much for your assistance with this matter.

Just attempted ping of google.com from my command prompt and it does indeed timeout. I will further investigate on my end.

Thank you for your response! I'll keep trying on my end.

I'm having the 'no connection' issue. I'm a first time user of this utility and I've reviewed posts by Skatezilla on this issue. I've tried turning off firewall app(s) and allowing DCS Updater Utility app-level FW permissions, etc. I've also set-up routes for incoming DCS ports on my router, all to no avail. Not sure why this is happening as my internet connection appears otherwise normal to me.
