DNS issues

When experiencing DNS issues, the following command will display what the current IPs in cache to access a resource.


Open command prompt:
C:\Users\user> ipconfig /displaydns.

To output the results to a file instead of the Console, simply add a greater than and file name.

C:\Users\user> ipconfig /displaydns >TestDNS.txt

If a problem is seen in the results, the local cache can be cleared with the following:
C:\Users\ser> ipconfig /flushdns
