The /flushdns should work... You can try stopping and restarting the dns = client service. Otherwise, your DNS server isn't updating... Did you = reload the zone and update server after making your change?

I mean, any time I run that, my DNS cache is NOT flushed. It gets my goat. Let's see here... /flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache. /displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache. So, you'd think that if I did a /flushdns and then did a /displaydns, the displaydns'd be empty. No, it's not. And although I made changes in my DNS server for one particular host, my computer still resolves the name to the old IP, and I still see it when I do a /displaydns. It's not like I'm using WINS or anything, and this host is not a machine that the browser service would have picked up or anything. It's just a name that I use to access one of my intranets.
