    Hi, hopefully I have a quick question, I recently reformatted my computer and thankfully everything seems to be working excellently except for one minor problem. Every now and then in both Firefox and IE pages won't come up and the request just times out. Usually rebooting will fix it. I use Windows XP Pro and use the repair connection thingy and it said "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following could not be completed: Clearing the DNS Cache." So, then I tried Start>Run>Cmd and typed ipconfig /flushdns because I saw that in another thread here. Anywho that resulted in "Could Not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function Failed During Execution" Anywho, any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Um....er....yeah, I'm a moron, feel free to ignore this, I was playing around in services.msc and when I um put DNS Client back to automatic from disabled, it fixed my problem believe it or not, so feel free to ignore this. Oops!
