how do I flush the dns in windows98?

Answer : flushing dns in windows98

reboot. As you may have found out, w98 doesn't suport the ipconfig /flushdns

however you can modify the time of the dns cache
Even if you don't frequent casinos, you can still run out of cache in a matter of minutes. Before a Web page can fully load, your browser must first resolve the domain name [lockergnome.com] to its corresponding IP address(es). Since Internet Explorer 4.0, the DNS cache has been resetting itself every thirty minutes. If this time-out setting is way too short for your tastes, then you'll need to fire up the Registry editor and navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings key. In the right-hand pane, right-click and add a new DWORD value. Rename the new entry: "DnsCacheTimeout" (sans quotes). Double-click to edit it's properties, changing the type to Decimal before proceeding. What should 'Value data' be set to? Well, whatever you pick, this is the number of seconds between cache flushings. The higher - the greater the chance of not having the freshest DNS entry. The lower - the more time it will take your system to resolve DNS entries. If you want to return to "normal," you can always remove this user-created key
