I have to constantly /flushdns in Vista in order to reach pages in IE/FF

Greetings,

I'm having a problem with Vista Enterprise (official release, not an RC). Half or more websites, won't load in IE or Firefox until I go into the command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns". This behavior seems very strange to me, and when I google for a solution, I see that a lot of people are having the same issue, however, I don't see any solutions.

What seems even stranger to me, is that I can do an nslookup on the domains in question, before flushing the dns cache, and it returns the proper IP.

Anyone have any bright ideas?

BTW, where is the Vista sub-category?Start Free Trial
