Question : Can not flush the DNS Resolver Cache.

I have Windows XP. Whenever I type "ipconfig /flushdns" I get "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution."  The reason I am trying to flush the DNS cache is because www.google.com and some other popular sites are no longer work. I have tried running both McAfee and Ad-aware and my computer is supposedly clean of any virus/spyware. Any help would be appreciated!!

Answer : Can not flush the DNS Resolver Cache.

Check the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HSOS file (no extension on the HOSTS filename; and it might be C:\WINNT instead of C:\WINDOWS).
