Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Linux equivalent of 'ipconfig /flushdns'?
My DNS cache on my Ubuntu 6.06 install got poisoned somehow, and I need to clear it out so I can actually use the damn box - any suggestions?
Hurt me if you must, but let the duckie go!
New Does Linux have a DNS cache?
[link|http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-networking/35073-resolver-library-dns.html|this] post suggests it doesn't. Maybe just restart the offending app?

You could always reboot, too. That would clear it.

New Reboot doesn't clear it.
The problem started last weekend when my Linksys RTP300 started acting squirrely for both Windows and Linux. Basically, as long as I statically assigned the IP address the Linksys was using, neither Windows nor Linux could resolve anything. As soon as I set it to get it's primary address via DHCP, then did a 'ipconfig /flushdns' under Windows, the Windows partition worked fine. However, the Linux partition (after several reboots) still gets squirrely address information. I can't get to Z, or several other sites. However, apt-get update;apt-get upgrade seems to work just fine.

Go figure.

New Sounds like your LinkSys has the problem.
If you change your /etc/resolv.conf file to point to a Known Good DNS server (run one yourself if necessary), does the problem go away?

New whats in /etc/resolv.conf?
should be your dns servers.

if your not using dhcp, you may need to set them manually.

search domain.actdsltmp\nnameserver 192.168.15.1


That's the same DNS server as is set for my Windows partition.
