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 |
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 |
CODE |
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters DWORD: MaxCacheTtl Value: 14400 (check decimal base for that entry) |
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 |
CODE |
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters "MaxCacheTtl "=dword:00003840 |
CODE |
netsh winsock reset |
