Hi,

Anyone know the command to clear your DNS cache?

Cheers.

The client cache:
ipconfig /flushdns

The DNS server service cache:
rt-click your DNS server name, select "clear cache".

To clear a DNS client cache (on W2K, XP or 2003) run "ipconfig /flushdns"

To clear a DNS Server cache run "dnscmd /clearcache" or use the DNS tool to
clear the cache. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start the DNS tool. To do this, click "Start", point to
"Administrative Tools", and then click "DNS".

2. Under "DNS", right-click the server where you want to clear the cache,
and then click "Clear Cache".

Or simply restart the DNS service.

When Ipconfig /flushdns fails, try "net stop dnscache" and "net start
dnscache". Never fails :)
