hi there,

absolute newbie here.


my problem is: even after "ipconfig /flushdns" the client doesn't do a
new lookup for some hosts. here's what i tried:

__________________________________________________ _____________

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

C:\>ping cultris.ath.cx

Pinging cultris.ath.cx [62.167.25.45] with 32 bytes of data:

Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 62.167.25.45:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

C:\>nslookup cultris.ath.cx
Server: cn005.royalinc.royalinc.net
Address: 192.168.1.5

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: cultris.ath.cx
Address: 84.227.72.55

i expected that "ping cultris.ath.cx" would reveal that this address
belongs to the ip 84.227.72.55 (just like nslookup did). why not?

62.167.25.45 is ~10 minutes old.



how the heck can i force win2000 to query my dns-server again?

regards,
simon
