You'll need to run cmd.exe as an Administrator. To do this, go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes) - then, go to the top of the search window (above what you just typed in) and you'll see a reference to cmd.exe. Right click on this and select "Run as Administrator".
Alternatively, construct a shortcut to it and select the "Run as Administrator" in the Compatibility tab - or right click on the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".
Perhaps you have a corrupted DNS cache! Resetting or “Flushing” this cache is an easy fix that may resolve your problems. This is how to clear the DNS cache in Vista:
- Click the Start Orb
- Now click All Programs
- Then Accessories
- Then Command Prompt
- Right-click on it and ‘Run As Administrator’
- Type the following and hit Enter:
- ipconfig /flushdns
- After a few moment you should be able to see a confirmation window:
- Windows IP Configuration. Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
This is very helpful information and you should also note that it also works the same way in Windows 7
