This does not work. I ran the command and got the confirmation message, but when I type : ipconfig /displaydns it still shows that everything is in the cache and nothing has been removed.

I am having issues connecting to Server 2003 with Vista Ultimate. I keep getting the error :
"An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a DC in the domain being joined has failed. Please verify this client is configured to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain." Any help would be greatly appreciated

do you have a router conected if so reset the modem and the router and try to plug them back and see if that works if not pulg the modem and the,pc no router in between and check your ip if that dont wrork do and inetwiz if that dont work do a flushdns as check ur ip address. if you are a homenetworking comcast customer you need to call them and ask them for an static ip. I hope that by fallowing this steps you get what you need. Later

I'm not some newbie. A+ certified. I'm starting to think half of my problems are some kind of HP specific BS settings. Nothing I run at the command line works normally on this computer. I use my (NON-HP) VISTA laptop and my results vary. I can't even get Python to run correctly. DNS flush gave me all kinds of errors. Double checked my typing. Never buy another HP again. I'm building my next rig just like I did all of my previous rigs.

Click on Vista start menu logo and start typing cmd. when you see it, right click and say "run as administrator" and verify by selecting okay and then type configuration.

I experienced internet connection problems. While Skype and pinging ip numbers worked (even connecting to ip addresses in the web browser worked) just addresses like www.google.com often did not work.

After a lot of fiddling I found that disabling NetBIOS via TCP/IP helps. Go to the Network Center, Network Connections, properties of the connection (wireless or LAN, whatever you use for this connection). Then properties of the IPv4 protocol, Advanced, WINS tab. Select Disable NetBIOS via TCP/IP. For good measure I also enabled Use DNS suffix of this connection in the DNS registration (DNS tab). The latter I also did for the IPv6 protocol. In my experience the NetBIOS setting did the trick for me.

Maybe this helps some of you.

you are not running as administrator if you are getting "requested operation requires elevation". RUN IT AS ADMINISTRATOR as this guide recommends.
