    That may be a problem of ARP Poisoning... Go to command prompt and type :
    Code:
    arp -a
    if there are many IP listed, just renew your IP Address and that mey get your problem solved, I don't know what is the command for linux. The linux command for dns cache flushing is :
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart
    I don't know how to do it in windows.. may be just renew the ip...
