How to Flush DNS in Windows, Mac and Linux
Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Saturday, November 28, 2009You visit one of the most frequently viewed websites in your list and find it’s not loading up, it could be very frustrating at times.
The site can be down for more than one reason, the most common one being, the remote server being down. To ensure if the server is up, ping the server directly, and the response tells you the status.
Let’s assume that the servers working fine, but still the site does not load up in your browser! DNS failure can be the cause. And this us a common case if server is relocated and/or the site is moved on to a new server, as DNS propagation normally takes anywhere from 24 – 72 hrs to propagate and work fine.
This scenario is also true when you set up new domain on a server.
If the site fails to show up even after 72 hrs, you may have to clear your DNS cache to ensure the request is not going to the old ips of the site you are trying to load.
Clearing DNS cache will ensure your PC does not have old records of bad DNS entries. If the bad entries are not flushed then you need to wait up to 24 hours for it to be dropped from the cache automatically, which is a scheduled activity in some computers.
The following list gives you the set of commands to flush DNS on different platforms:

Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Friday, February 06, 2009Hide in the (Network) Neighbourhood
Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Saturday, November 22, 2008Don't want your XP computer to show up in the network browse list (Network Neighborhood/My Network Places) to other users on your network? One way to accomplish that is to disable file sharing.
To do this, click Start, right click My Network Places and select Properties.
Right click your local area connection and click Properties.
Uncheck the box that says File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks.
Click OK.
But what if you want to be able to share folders with some users; you just don't want everyone on the network to see your computer's shares? There's a way:
Click Start and select Run.
In the Run box, type net config server /hidden:yes
Click OK.
Now others who know the UNC path (\ \ computer name\ share name) can connect to your computer's shares from the Run box, but it won't show up in the network browse list.
