my bro the computer give me this

Windows IP Configuration

Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.

JMal · 1 year ago

yah mine says the same thing and my internet explorer or mozilla firefox wont work. when i click on repair it stops at clearing the dns and says windows could not finish repairing the problem. Its wierd because my internet games that came with the computer like internet backgammon, checkers, hearts, reversi, and spades still connect to the internet and let me play against other people. WHAT DO I DO?

I have the same problem ... When i run cmd under XP, and type ipconfig /flushdns

i get an error : Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function Failed During Execution.

Is there a way to fix this issue or will i have to perform a low-level format and re-up XP ?

I have kind of a unique problem.

a specific website (realclearpolitics) redirects to a different website owned by the same website. However, this problem only exists on my machine. when I contacted the system administrators for the website they informed me that only my machine was requesting that specific IP all others routed properly to the website. I am able,as a work around to visit the site by leaving off the "www." so instead of www.realclearpolitics.com i address only realclearpolitcs.com.

When I saw this entry I thought that perhaps this was the key. however I recieved a response of "The requested operation requires elevation."

Does anyone have any ideas?

Navigate to Control panel -->Administrative Tools -->services.(double click on services.). There you see a list of services and select the DNS Client. A separate window opens as Dns client properties. Then in the startup combo box select automatic and click on apply to make the changes.The most important part is to start the service by clicking on the start button. Then u get a status that the service is started .Try repairing it will work like a charm.

Try to clear the cookies.Probably that is doing the trick.To confirm once use another browser and check out if the same problem occurs.If not u ll have to clear cookies and take other options like changing ur IP address.

What does "drop to a command box" mean?

What is a "command box" ?

How do you go about "dropping to" it ?

This entry appears to be written in English, but makes no sense.

How do i "goto HKEY_Local_ [etc] parameters "?
Is that something i can do, if i "drop to " a "command box" ?
then, "Build a new DWORD value", ....huh?

If i were already a computer programmer, i would not be searching for help.

newbie · 5 months ago

Yes, it is all our fault that you don't know how to get to a command line, and all programmers know everything and never need help too.

Good points SCWard.

SC Ward · 5 months ago

actually quite simple, once you know;

start/ run/ cmd/ ipconfig/ flushdns

but in 20 posts, no one had offered that.

Obviously, i found it elsewhere.

Thanks so much for your useful input.

Also, once your in there if you right click on a blank area in the right hand box you will get the option to create a new string, one of these is the DWORD
