  How to Flush Local DNS Resolver Cache 

• Cache flushing helps solve many networking problems including erroneous DNS resolution. We suggest that you flush your DNS resolver caches after setting up OpenDNS to ensure that your computer uses OpenDNS as it's DNS resolver.
• The local DNS resolver cache of your operating system can be flushed by running the following commands from the command prompt or command line.

Alternatively, restarting your computer flushes your DNS resolver caches.

 Windows Operating Systems :

• ipconfig /flushdns (Windows users may need to run the Command Prompt 'As Administrator' in order to use this command) 

How to Flush Web Browser Caches

• Cache flushing helps solve many networking problems including erroneous DNS resolution. We suggest that you flush your web browser caches after you have changed your DNS settings or filtering settings to ensure that only your most current network settings are used by your computer's web browser
