Server move

When I logged in earlier all I got was a message to say that it was being moved to a different server and to flush my dns cache. Now to get this on New Year's day in the morning was very discombobulating to say the least. Using a new O/S - what's a dns cache and where do I the pull chain? Anyway it's back up - could only think that the Boss hadn't paid this year's rent in advance. Happy New Year to one and all. :flowers:

With great difficulty I managed to get one end of the computer box thingy into the toilet bowl, flushed it, then I did the other end, then the keyboard and finally the flat screen in the same way. The whole task took about 30 minutes (due to having to wait for the cystern to refill each time) and used an aweful lot of water. But still, after all that I couldn't access the board, so then I thought it must be still be in bed with a hangover from New Years Night.

Anyway, it seems to have come out of its stupor now. biggrin.gif

Flushing the DNS cache wouldn't have worked. We were moved onto another server and were given a new IP. This had to propagate to all the DNS servers. It wouldn't have been instant.

How do I Flush DNS?
