Can not flush the DNS Resolver Cache.
I have Windows XP. Whenever I type "ipconfig /flushdns" I get "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution." The reason I am trying to flush the DNS cache is because www.google.com and some other popular sites are no longer work. I have tried running both McAfee and Ad-aware and my computer is supposedly clean of any virus/spyware. Any help would be appreciated!!

Deleting hosts and lmhosts, changing the registry settings might help. But an other solution would be to create a new user account in case of a client system in a standalone or workgroup computer. it can be resolved

thanks malhy for services.msc, i disabled long time ago the DNS client, and now when i needed to flush it didn't worked. I put it on automatic and started it and it successfully flushed the DNS. Cheers
