Unable to flush DNS cache; XP Pro Monday, November 3, 2003 at 4:58 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Scooter McGoo (24 messages posted) I have an IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP Pro SP1 with all patches and updates from Microsoft. I am unable to flush the DNS cache. When I try from a cmd line ipconfig /flushdns I get the following... Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution. ipconfig /displaydns yields this... Could not display the DNS Resolver Cache. I have tried disabling the tcp/ip protocol and removing the network adapter. I rebooted and allowed XP to find the NIC again. Still no luck. It is not causing me a problem accessing the internet or network applications. The only problem I seem to have is using a DNS name to map a network drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can find nothing on the net of any help on this one.
