Title: Does you site seem slow, for you? Try this (Windows only).
Post by: kat on May 28, 2011, 03:56:45 PM
I've suggested it to a few members, now.

It's worked quite few times. So, I thought it worth sharing.

Click Start>Run.

In the DOS window that opens, type this:

ipconfig /renew

(That's ipconfig<SPACE>/renew)

and hit Enter.

Any better?

If not, try this.

ipconfig /release

Hit Enter. (You'll go offline)

ipconfig /renew.

Hit Enter. (You'll go back online)

Obviously, this can work on other sites, not just yours. :)

This trick works only when you get a dynamic ip from your router via DHCP ;)

My router has a static IP.

Go figure. :)

It's also a good idea to do it this way

ipconfig/release
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/renew

I believe that some versions of windows don't actually recognise the flushdns option, though. It doesn't seem to do anything on W7 Ultimate, which I use, for example.

On that Microsoft page, it says:

(I could be wrong).

Make sure you're running the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Right-Click -> Run as Administrator)

A standard prompt doesn't seem to let you perform it!

Everything that happens on my computer is as an administrator. ;)

You dont right click on command prompt and run as administrator just type cmd in start let the cmd.exe pop up then type ipconfig/fliushdns.

Oh, yeah. I know.

It just doesn't do anything, on mine.

Mind you, my W7's been seriously hacked, to save space. So, maybe that's one of the things that got trashed.;)
