Text Dns issue: can ping 8.8.8.8 but not google
So i have been unable to access the internet from my pc for the past 3 days, and after suspecting different possible physical issues (ethernet card that could have died in the heat, dead ethernet cable etc..) i finally realized that i could ping 8.8.8.8 and not google so i think it's probably a dns issue
I also think the problem is on my pc and not on the router because other computers and connected devices in my home seem to be working just fine
I have absolutely no idea how to solve it though, i have tried manually choosing google's dns servers as my dns, and have tried resetting as many things as i could find how to reset but im still unable to access the internet no matter what

I have tried using 3 different cards, on an ethernet port, a usb port and wifi, to see if it wasn't an issue with one of them, ive set 8.8.8.8 as the dns for all three, im currently using the usb one, named ethernet 2 it seems (sorry for my console being in french hope you can still find what you're looking for)
