In Vista, flushing the DNS cache, or even renewing the IP address, through the command prompt requires using a special command prompt. Why this is, I have no clue; it doesn't seem to make a great deal of sense even from a security standpoint, since you don't have to have administrative access to do so.

Click on the start orb. Then look for and click on All Programs. You need to look for Accessories, where you should find a listing for Command Prompt. Choose that one. Then you should be able to flush the DNS with the following commands:

ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns

If Vista refuses to recognize these, remove the space before the slash; we are getting some conflicting reports at the ISP where I do tech support whether the space is needed. If it still refuses to recognize them, call your PC maker for further assistance.

You can use the same command prompt to release/renew your IP address if needed. Those commands are:

ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew

Same comments about the space.

Hope this is useful for you. If not, consult your service provider's tech support dept to help you identify the problem further, or talk to the PC maker.
