flush the DNS<\/a> cache in Microsoft\u2019s Windows NT, 2000 and later editions, the steps to be followed are:<\/p>\n\u2022 Click on the Start Button and click on the Run button.
\n\u2022 Type \u2018Command\u2019 or \u2018cmd\u2019 to get into the command prompt.
\n\u2022 Type ipconfig\/flushdns to flush the DNS cache.<\/p>\n
If the flush was successful, the command line interface should display these messages:<\/p>\n
\u201cWindows IP Configuration
\nSuccessfully flushed the DNS Resolver cache.\u201d<\/p>\n
If however, you wish to stop the caching of addresses permanently (in the light of repeated negative entries) you can type \u2018net stop dnscache\u2019 or \u2018sc server stop dnscache\u2019 to permanently stop the caching of web addresses for the duration of the up time of the system.<\/p>\n
The last method is only advised in the case of a recurring problem with DNS names as this will make web browsing a relatively slower experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
