        Excellent advice there guys

        Try these commands Darren:

        Display Connection Configuration: ipconfig /all

        Display DNS Cache Info: ipconfig /displaydns

        Clear DNS Cache: ipconfig /flushdns

        Release All IP Address Connections: ipconfig /release

        Renew All IP Address Connections: ipconfig /renew

        Re-Register the DNS connections: ipconfig /registerdns

        Change/Modify DHCP Class ID: ipconfig /setclassid

        Network Connections: control netconnections

        Network Setup Wizard: netsetup.cpl

        Test Connectivity: ping whatismyip.com

        Trace Route: tracert

        Displays the TCP/IP protocol sessions: netstat

        Display Local Route: route

        Display Resolved MAC Addresses: arp

        Display Name of Computer Currently on: hostname

        Display DHCP Class Information: ipconfig /showclassid

        NameServer Lookup: nslookup whatismyip.com

          If You are using Windows 7 , there is no "Dos prompt" . Most likely What they had You open was "command prompt" using elevated permissions (run as administrator) and type IP config /flushdns to clear bogus domain names cached .

          click on start , all programs , accessories and find command prompt in the list - RIGHT click on it and select "run as administrator" . You can then type in any of the commands that were listed in the detailed posting prior to mine
          done
