- [DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAINDNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAIN means Chrome asked a DNS server for the IP address of the site and the server answered NXDOMAIN: no such domain.](https://uptrack.app/errors/dns-probe-finished-nxdomain)
- [ERR\_NAME\_NOT\_RESOLVEDERR\_NAME\_NOT\_RESOLVED is the error code Chrome gives when it cannot turn a host name into an IP address.](https://uptrack.app/errors/err-name-not-resolved)
