How to fix Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding issue on windows 10?

Hi, so I've got a Lenovo B50 Laptop with Windows 10.
Specs are as follows (not sure if this is important but anyway):
8GB RAM
2GB AMD Radeon GPU
i7 CPU @2.0GHZ
500GB Storage

The issue is only with my ethernet cable, because connecting to the same network on the same computer works fine, but as soon as I plug the ethernet cable in it gets stuffed up and has a little yellow caution sign next to it and no internet connection. This has only been happening recently, and I've made no major adjustments to my network setup or anything like that. I do however have a google DNS on my ipv4 and ipv6 configurations.

Things I've tried:

- Changing the DNS server to google dns
- Clicking the "obtain DNS server address automatically" checkbox on internet properties
- Entering "ipconfig /flushdns" on cmd.

Sometimes after a restart it works normally but others it doesn't even after a restart, it's a bit of an on/off thing really. If you need any additional info I'd be happy to give it to you but I'm not really good with computers so please keep the instructions simple!

Cheers
Added (1). My ethernet cable adapter is a "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" if that helps! Thanks again!
Added (2). Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for responding with simple instructions =)
And yes, WiFi works completely fine. When I click the little wifi icon that shows all other connections, my ethernet one is at the top and says "No Internet".
