Hi guys,
i ran into the same issue after september update.
Here is how i fix it:
In my win 10 installation was the dns client deactivated. I opend regedit an search for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dnscache "
The value in the start DWORD key was set to 4 (disabled). I changed it to 3 and restart my pc. Now the service starts automatically and ED runs without problem.
I hope this could help somone of you commanders.

Fly safe
 
What to do if it already value of 2? And 3 doesn't work. And 4 too. I think only reinstall/clear windows can help with this, but this so funny.

You can try to activate the service manually. Hit the Windows key and type "services". In the upcoming list search for "DNS Client". Look at its state. If it is running, you have another problem. If not try to start it manually. If it is greyed out, my previous solution should ungrey it and you should be able to start the service.
In my case the fault was, that this service didn't run. I wish you best luck.
 
...and here come the crazy "solutions" that NEVER work. Go into this folder, change that file from 1 to 2, type CMD/DNS...download ethernet drivers, buy new t-shirts and launch in windowless mode, restart your PC in Safe Mode and run as Administrator after forwarding all your ports, harbours and airports.

This stuff NEVER works and is not our side! One day the game works...download this update thing...broken. THEY DID SOMETHING so THEY need to fix it without all the cyber jibberjabber of going into files and folder and command lines!
 
I am old. I am an old gamer. I have played Elite since it was released on the BBC micro. I played it on the ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Amiga and finally on the PC. I was the first to dock when Elite Dangerous was released. I loved the mystery, the graphic and the sound. It did not disappoint.
But I AM disappointed at the recent silence from Frontier Developments lately, especially as of light of this recent update.

Time to stand forward Frontier Developments. Make an announcement. If you do not you will not only lose a player base in this game... you will lose trust in any game you develop.

We have seen distrust in game developers but maybe you might need to take note of how you can redeem yourselves like Hello Games.
 
Stop messing with your settings and wait for a patch, you'll only mess it up even more

make sure you got all your windows updates and if you're still using 7 why the heck are you doing that?
It's free to upgrade and you can edit the security sections now when you're installing it.

the problem seems to be only affecting a few people.
