The following guide will teach you how to flush your DNS Cache.
The first step to flushing your DNS is to open your “Windows Command” prompt.
- WinXP: Start, Run and then type “cmd” and press Enter.
- Vista, Window 7 and Windows 8: Click “Start” and type the word “Command” in the Start search field. Finally, right-click the command prompt icon and select the option to “Run as Administrator”.
- In the open prompt, type “ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes).
- You should receive a message of your success as confirmation when the cache is cleared.
Flushing the cache removes all the information stored in the cache, forcing the computer to find new DNS information.
