1145136	2010-10-15 07:15:00	Being temporarily unable to do any kind of search, I can't find out for myself. A repair feature provided a message saying "Repair cannot continue, the Dns cache can't be cleaned." So how can I do it please?	Vince (406)

1145140	2010-10-15 11:00:00	www.raymond.cc The reason why you’re unable to flush a Windows computer DNS cache is if the DNS Service is not running. Go to Start > Run and type services.msc. Double click the DNS Client to bring up DNS Client properties window. Make sure the startup type is set to Automatic and service status is Started. If not, just select the drop down menu, select Automatic and then click the Start button. Now if you run the ipconfig /flushdns command in command prompt, you should see “Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache”.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
