You're probably not using a router.

Anybody who wants to see your DNS server (SEE, NOT CHANGE), do this: Go to start, run, type in cmd, and then type in ipconfig /all OR you can go to start, settings, network connections, double-click local area connections, go to properties, select TCP/IP, properties, and look at the preferred DNS server.

Also (particularly simple if you have a "Local Area Connection" icon on your toolbar) instead of clicking the "properties" button you can click the "Support" tab and then the "Repair" button. Which will, among other things, clear your local DNS cache.

But if you're a paranoid type, (in IE6, at least -- listen through the following and figure out whether you care to dig up the equivalent on other browsers) you probably also want to go into "Tools", "Internet Options", and under the "General" tab (usually the default) find and click the "Clear History" button.

If you aren't clear whether you CARE about any of this, go into "View", "Explorer Bar", and "History" -- this will open up the History pane to the side of your browser window, and you can see for yourself what is visible. Oddly enough, besides any webpages you have opened recently (which is useful if you wake up at your keyboard and wonder if you DID enter that last set of sweeps, or if you were dreaming), your History will ALSO include any newsgroups and any individual newsgroup post(s) you've visited recently.

What is the difference which site you stole from? Fact is, you didn't reference AGAIN. I provided a link because you weren't answering members questions and apparently still haven't.

The DNS automatically clears when you shut down your system anyway(which I do daily...)

Play nice!

Or don't do.
Thats why they have a report button.
Learn to use it.

Wouldn't your concern be more properly addressed in a private message?

Of course not.
There's nothing private or personal about it.
It's a legitimate issue and by posting publicly, she is quite correctly and appropriately endeavoring to give credit where it is due.
