Dns Address Not Found Issues

DNS Address Not Found Issues

This address the problem of not being able to see certain domains via your browser.

From the comand prompt of your computer:

Start -> Run --> (enter the below)

CODE
ipconfig /flushdns
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache


Then restart your computer.

Good info but I'll like to add that it also is very dependent on your browser cache as well and if you connect through a proxy or hub some adjustments will have to be made there also.

I have been having this problem a lot and although I clear my browser's cache and computer cache I still have to wait about five minutes before I can see the domain again. As an alternate I've started using a proxy when I cannot wait.

After you clear the DNS cache what you can do is tweak the registry by adding the following values to:

CODE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters

Add DWORD: MaxNegativeCacheTtl

Value: 0


The top entry will ensure XP does not keep negative entries.

You can also force out all current cache entries in case the ISP has updated:

CODE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters

DWORD: MaxCacheTtl

Value: 14400 (check decimal base for that entry)


See if that helps.

Thanks. I have tried that, and also tried: winsockfix.exe which is a freeware program that fixes lost connection related registry entries that may have become corrupted or changed.

Glad it worked for you. If you're on Vista you can use these:

Stop caching negative responses

CODE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
"MaxNegativeCacheTtl "=dword:00000000


Force keep positive entries in DNS Cache for only 4 hours instead of the default 24 hours
CODE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
"MaxCacheTtl "=dword:00003840


You cannot use WInsock on Vista so instead go to the command prompt and enter:

CODE
netsh winsock reset


Restart your computer and you should be good to go. By the way while at the command prompt you may want to flush your DNS cache using the same command given earlier.
