Hello. I have completed the flushdns and went back to displaydns and it shows all the cache that was there originally. I tried doing it twice in a row and it still comes up. I also did a restart of the cache: net stop dnscache, net start dnscache. What are my next options? Thanks!!!

These instructions solved my problems...because the DNS client service was not set up to run at start up and it wasn't enabled.

Thanks for the tip! Worked like a charm. Didn't realize that quirk about Vista..just another reason why Vista is like a lump of coal in the proverbial stocking.

I have a lot of weird websites that I see when doing : ipconfig/displaydns. Sites that currently are redirecting some of my requests to them. What a hell should I do to erase those ?

You can type another command "registerdns" after flush, it will do query to the DNS server again.

should there be something in the command window already?
I dont want to add something and screw up vista any more than it already is.
I have no idea when it comes to working with dos,dag,dog,or whatever other abbreviations there are.

Ah, awesome. I tried doing it without running as Administrator, but it kept giving errors. Who'd have known the fix was so simple? lol

Hi, I've been on the phone with mu ISP over some trouble with my DNS. We tried alot of different things including:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

unfortunatly nothing has worked.
The problem is that my DNS isn't reading hosts but only IP adresses. I'm really stuck and about to smash my Acer off the ground : )

Any help would be great

Hi,

I just wanted to share this information so that it may help others who have a had my issue.If you have tried the various other fixes and vista is still not working then please try disabling your IP Flood Detection in the router. This did the job for me.

ipconfig /flushdns doesn't always work under all circumstances with Vista, unfortunately. sometimes you need to do a restart of the cache: net stop dnscache, net start dnscache (or use the services snapin to restart DNS Client)
