Update Hosts File Without Browser Restart.

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone know how to cause your browser to reconize host files changes without having to restart the entire browser.

Is there a registry tweak, can you code something (C#, Java, C++) dosent matter to me.

Thanks,

Matt

maclema,

What O/S & Browser are you using? - XP & IE 6 certainly take notice of new entries in the Hosts file without having to restart the browser..

cheers,

I am using XP running Firefox 1.5

Is there a way to force IE to update instantly without having to restart the browser?

Hey guys, sorry I took so long to accept, completly forgot about this question.

ipconfig /flusdns works sometimes not others, IE sometimes reconizes the ipconfig /flushdns.

I still have not found anything consistant. Will let you know if I do.
