Open Command Prompt as an administrator (search for 'cmd', right-click, and select 'Run as administrator'). Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each: `netsh int ip reset`, `netsh winsock reset`, and `ipconfig /release`. Then, type `ipconfig /renew` and `ipconfig /flushdns`. Finally, restart your computer. This resets the network configuration, which can resolve conflicts causing the error.
