For quite a while, I have been using a tip from PC Magazine regarding speeding up internet browsing. Here is the text from PCMag:
-----------------------------------------------
"Windows XP and Vista store the DNS information of Web sites you've visited, to reach those sites faster each time you access them. The cache sometimes gets corrupted or stores a lot of unusable data, and that leads to slower Internet response times"
"To clear the cache, start, run, type cmd (brings up command prompt window), ipconfig/flushdns. The command purges the DNS cache and restores your Internet access speed."
----------------------------------------------
This has worked repeatedly for a long time. However, recently, at the command prompt window, when I type "ipconfig/flushdns" and hit enter, I get the following text:
Windows IP Configuration
Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.
Can anyone help with why this no longer works? Thanks.
