ipconfig /flushdns

So I was testing without my ethernet refresher bot running on the server. I wanted to see if the servers would lag up. Well they did, only a little tho. But I was waiting to see what kind of impact flushing the dns cache would have.

So after people were playing with some rubberbanding, not much, I spoke with them and then ran the command. CMD with raised privileges, and type in ipconfig /flushdns. It worked! Lag gone.

So before my bot would turn off and on my ethernet card, and then flush dns cache. But now I only need it to flush every 4 hours and that will be fine. If you setup a simple autoit script to flush dns cache using CMD, you should be fine. Easy and simple.

Hi, @Sphere.

Thank you for this post. I'm running my own private server, too, but it's not located directly on my machine, but within the external hosting company (Linux). I have an access to all components, including FTP, command line, configuration files (INI) and so on.

But I wonder, where should I type this flushing DNS command? Any idea?

I'd be very grateful for any hint.
