have you tried flushing and/or re registering the dns?
Also, is the other computer that is working using the same internet connection or a different one?

DNS error is either the dns response timed out, or the response was rubbish.

If you use a router, chances are you use your router as a dns server - so reboot that.  If you use a modem, chances are you use your ISPs DNS servers.
