If I try to repair my network connection in Windows XP I get a repair
failed: purging dns resolver cache message. Also ipconfig /flushdns
gives the following error message:
Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during
execution.

A previous reply stated that the original poster did not have the DNS
client cache service running. How does one start this service? I can't
find any information in Windows Help and Support.

Thanks.

Bill
