The following article explains how to flush a computer's DNS cache. When a computer visits a website for the first time, it stores the website's DNS information in cache. The next time the computer visits a website, it looks in the cache to see if the website's information is present to use. This can cause problems if the website's DNS information has changed since the computer's last visit. Flushing the cache removes all the information stored in cache, forcing the computer to find the new DNS information for the website.
start-cmd
ipconfig /flushdns
For windows operating system.
1. Click Start
2. Enter cmd in the start menu search text box.
3. Right - click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
and 4. Run the following command:
For your personal computer you can put below command to clear DNS cache
ipconfig /flushdns
If I understood your question. To clear the dns cache
ipconfig /flushdns
then to get new addresses,
ipconfig /registerdns (for this you'd need to run cmd as an administrator.
You can run both commands in a one liner
ipconfig /flushdns && ipconfig /registerdns
You can also view the dns entries in your pc's cache by doing the command.
ipconfig /displaydns
this can be a big list so you can save it into a text file using the redirction into a file such as
ipconfig /displaydns >c:\\displaydns.txt
Another thing I almost forgot to mention is your hosts file where you can save static dns entries. it is located in your drivers\\etc folder in your system32 folder.
