How do I flush my local DNS cache?
Flushing the DNS cache on your computer
These instructions will help you clear DNS cache (if needed). If you are connecting through a router, you will likely need to reset the router to clear DNS cache on it.
To flush DNS cache in Microsoft Windows (Win XP, Win ME, Win 2000):
- Click on Start->Run
- type:
ipconfig /flushdns
- Your DNS cache has been flushed.
- Note
- for Windows7, try this FlushDNS.bat
To flush the DNS cache in Mac OS X:
- in your terminal, type:
# dscacheutil -flushcache
- on older versions of OS X, type:
# lookupd -flushcache
- Your DNS cache has been flushed.
To flush the DNS cache in Linux
- in your terminal, type:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart
- or
# service nscd restart
- Your DNS cache has been flushed.
- Please note, many distributions do not cache DNS, so if nscd is not installed on your distro, this is not needed.
