I am trying to clear the DNS. I am using a wirless connection. When i type on the following message into the command prompt "ipconfig /flushdns" (without the parentheses) it fails to clear the DNS. The message the pops up instead says "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Funtion failed during operation". Does anyone know what to do? i have also tried displaying the DNS and then clearing it, but it even fails to display the DNS.

This error occurs when the "DNS Client" service is not running on your system. You're probably getting this error message:
"Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution."
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, then click OK.
2. In the list of services, click DNS Client.
3. Make sure that the Status column displays Started and that the Startup Type column displays Automatic.
4. If the service is not set to Started or if the startup type for the DNS Client service is not set to Automatic, follow these steps:
a. Right-click DNS Client, and then click Properties.
b. In the DNS Client Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Automatic in the Startup type list.
c. Click Start, click Apply, and then click OK.

Are you sure you even have a Domain Name Server on your network? When I do an ipconfig /all, the DNS IP addresses that show up are out at my ISP.

It sounds as if you are not getting dns info. Why are you trying to clear the dns, what was the original problem?
