Sorry for my English. I am Brazilian and I used the Google translator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Jamin4u Posted March 14, Posted March 14, 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. Online Documentation CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy.
Why not just go with the defaults at ccleaner install? DennisD Posted November 1, Posted November 2, DennisD Thank you very much for that infomation Keith.

The DNS cache contains IP addresses for the respective domains or hosts as well as additional information specifying it — such as the validity period of the record or the appropriate protocol group.
For example, an entry for the domain www. As mentioned earlier, it makes sense to clear the DNS cache regularly. There are three reasons in particular that you should take action and set the DNS register to zero with a DNS flush, regardless of the actual validity period of the individual records:.
You can display the DNS cache currently stored on your system at any time. As a user of Windows 7, you can run a DNS flush via the command prompt. Then start the command line tool by clicking or pressing enter.
When you press enter, Windows clears the DNS cache. The command prompt is also your tool for a DNS flush on Windows 8. First, open the start menu via the home button and then search using the magnifying glass symbol. Start the flushing process by pressing enter. A command line message will inform you of the success of the DNS flush. The command prompt works in the same way on Windows 10, and the procedure hardly differs from that of Windows 7 and 8: in the first step, use the search function to look for the command line application cmd.
If the process has functioned as desired, then the command prompt confirms the success of the flush process. The different distributions only offer a function to store DNS information locally with the use of appropriate applications like nscd n ame s ervice c aching d aemon , pdnsd, dns-clean, or dnsmasq.
If you use one of these services for caching, you have to control it from the terminal in order to clear the cache. To clear the DNS cache from dnsmasq , dns-clean , or ncsd , though, you need to completely restart the respective service:. As opposed to the Microsoft systems, though, the command for resetting the cache varies from version to version.
I tried on two browsers Chrome, Explorer on Win 8. I wouldn't think so, only you should have access to the command prompt, if a program had access to it I wouldn't trust the program that much anymore.
Never having used it myself I'd assume you'd probably have to reboot after using it for it to be effective. I cannot speak for eBay, but generally speaking you shouldn't really have to flush your DNS to resolve such an issue. Why not? An elevated program has access to it regardless. Accessing cmd is a great way to bypass writing lots of code and reinventing the wheel.
