If you have a wireless connection- disable the Router firewall and also your antivirus product firewall and try connecting to the internet.
Goto command prompt ( Press the windows logo button and the R button together)
Type cmd and hit enter
On the cmd window type ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter
Then type netsh winsock reset and hit enter
Then restart your computer and check.

Hi deborah, thanks for replying... the little laptop Im trying to connect is running linux so not sure what the procedure would be for this (press windows logo and the R button).. can you shed any light?
Sure. Could you please tell me which version interface of Linux you are using Lisa?
Hi Deborah, I think its zandoras - I sound hopeless Im afraid, Im a windows user , we bought this tiny laptop for a xmas pressie for my young son, and wanted to just set up the wireless connection...sorry to sound so vague.. lisa
hmm that doesnt seems to be right. Please refer this link which contains a video on how to flush DNS from linux and also there is a criteria that you need to have the latest flash player installed to watch this video.

The most common caching daemon on linux these days (yes, running on "desktop" insalls) is nscd.
To clear it's cache takes 3 things:
stop the daemon, ensure the persistent option for the hosts service isn't enabled in nscd.conf or manualy wipe the persistent db, start the daemon.
How you stop & start the daemon, where nscd.conf is found, where the persistent db file is found, all depend on your particular distribution, but a generic answer that works on _most_ distributions is:
/etc/init.d/nscd stop
Verify /etc/nscd.conf has this:
persistent hosts no
shared hosts yes
/etc/init.d/nscd start
Or just stop the daemon and leave it stopped and don't worry about any config options or db files.
It will come back up at next reboot.
Sometimes even though the above works, there may also be a more convenient command.
Example, on SuSE, the above works, but there is also:
rcnscd stop
rcnscd start
I am sorry that I was not able to come up with a suitable solution as Linux is a bit complicated and so need to know the platform of Linux that you are using to get to a solution.Do let me know if you have any concerns with windows.You may also contact my technical support people I am subscribed to and who taught me technical stuffs and I think they do support Linux platforms. 877-407-9229
Thanks Deborah, most helpful will try all of the above. Regards Lisa
