So far I haven't experience this yet.. but thanks for the tip, but the forum is really fast I must say..

[neni]

I use windows vista, and i couldn't '/flushdns'

it says that it's not recognized as a command

 

 

anyways, the problem is solved somehow and everything is normal

[Key]

The command is "ipconfig /flushdns" ... Did you enter it this way? Or only "/flushdns" as in your post?

[neni]

Oh

I tried only /flushdns

 

i tried again and it worked!! hehehe
