Clearing the DNS Cache

Open Command Prompt. If you are experiencing connection issues, your DNS cache may be corrupt or out of date. Manually flushing it is a quick process, and can solve a lot of your connection woes.

• Click Start (the Window icon at the bottom left of your screen) and then type "command prompt" in the search bar.
• Right-Click on the Command Prompt and then click "Run as Administrator". Running the Command prompt as Administrator is important since we will be deleting cache that can be found in the system folders.

Enter the flush DNS command. To flush the DNS cache, typeipconfig /flushdns and press ↵ Enter

• You will see a message saying Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache if you have entered it correctly. Close the Command Prompt.
