Flush DNS

Posted on Author Allen Comment(0)

Most operating systems and DNS clients will automatically cache IP addresses and other DNS results, this is done in order to speed up subsequent requests to the same hostname. Sometimes bad results will be cached and therefore need to be cleared from the cache in order for you to communicate with the host correctly. All major operating systems allow you to force this process. Outlined below are the common steps you will need to follow in order to flush your DNS cache.

 

  1. Ensure that you’re on the Windows desktop.
  2. Right click on the start menu and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
  3. Type in the command ipconfig /flushdns
