Again, I was shadowing a thread somewhere else, router problem, the suggested answer that worked was ipconfig /flushdns in the runbox, I know ipconfig, could someone explain the atribute flushdns to me. thanks

was it really from the runbox, or is this from cmd and they have written runbox by mistake.

ipconfig /flushdns is run from the command prompt.

Here's a pretty good explanation of what it does...

Thanks PeteF, very good link as I am starting down the road of cmd:

By using the 'ipconfig /flushdns' command, you delete the contents of the DNS resolver cache, meaning that your system will now recheck its settings to see where it should be going to get DNS addresses.

Thanks, solved
