annathepiperNeed a bit of help with a Windows 98 DNS problem. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mamishka needs to flush the DNS cache on her system, and we have determined that rebooting the box does not seem to actually do it. I know that on XP, I can type "ipconfig /flushdns" to do this, but Meems has no such command on her Win98 box.
(For context, we ran into this problem tonight, as a result oflyonesse having reset DNS settings on her site, which hosts Mimi's sunandmoonmurals.com domain. Meems discovered tonight that her box was not letting her connect to sunandmoonmurals.com in her browser, though she was able to get to www.sunandmoonmurals.com. I had the same behavior on my system, until I did "ipconfig /flushdns".)
So how can we kick Mimi's DNS cache in the head with minimum effort? Thanks in advance for cluage!
