Re: [H] Router and ipconfig /flushdns

[Ben Ruset]

I've had some problems with the built in DNS server in several Linksys 
routers. It's very likely that something just wasn't talking right.

You could have your customer set their router to give out 4.2.2.1 and 
4.2.2.2 as DNS servers in their DHCP config. Those are nice public DNS 
servers.

I suggested he reset the router to factory defaults (using the button in 
the back) and try it.  That worked for a bit, but then it stopped.

He called his ISP, and they had him use ipconfig /flushdns - he says 
that fixed the problem.

How would flushdns fix a problem with the router that didn't exist with 
the modem?  I would think if it works with the modem, then the problem 
would have to be in the router.
