    Refresh / Flush DNS

    I have two user accounts on my home PC. It's Vista Home Premium.

    I am administrator on my PC. When I check my user account, it confirms this.

    However, when I try, thru a CMD prompt, to do ipconfig /flushdns, I get an error message saying "The requested operation requires elevation."

    The prompt is C:\Users\Bruce which implies I'm not the administrator.

    How do I get to the right place to clear the DNS? It's causing me some trouble.

    I'm on a home wireless network, just my notebook and the wireless router (attached to a cable modem).

    You need to right click on CMD and select run as admin then you won't get that error

    Elevated Command Prompt
