[Tutorial] How to flush your DNS cache [From The Ender Castle]

Recently @ItsHarry has already fixed the TS server, and he said that you may need to flush your dns cache.

Due to someone don't know how to do it, I will list the commands here.

For Windows:
1: Open your command prompt.
2: Type "ipconfig /flushdns".
For Mac OS X:
1: Open your "Terminal".
2: Type "dscacheutil -flushcache".
For GNU/Linux:
1: Open your "Terminal".
2: Type "/etc/init.d/nscd restart" or "service nscd restart". (You may need to add a 'sudo' before this command so make sure that you have sudo or root access).

Hope this helps you guys! :D

 

This doesn't always work, as Linux does not always have a local DNS cache server, nor do all Linux derivatives use nscd to cache locally.


Also, if it's an Upstart-based or init.d-based system, you should be able to use "service ____ restart", which properly takes care of stuff.

 

Thx for the tip. Changes has been made. :p
One more thing. What's the exact way to clear up linux dns cache? My way is working for common distros, and the person who install technical distros certainly know how to do that.

 

I cant understand a word your saying

 

whaaat? impossible... Isn't it clear enough?

 

Yea. Its clear but its hard to understand if your 10 years old, like me :P

 

Ehh.... What a pity. :(

 

Thanks for the info! I think @John_0696 had TS troubles too.
