Clear DNS problem

Hellow guys...

I'm having truble refreshing DNS.

C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /flushdns
The requested operation requires elevation.

What it means?

Thank you

It means User Account Control (UAC) is blocking the operation. It's the same
thing that pops up those annoying dialogs when you run things in the control
panel or elsewhere that requires admin privledges. It doesn't show the
dialog for command line programs though.

I'm not in front of Vista to check if this works, but try right clicking on
"Command Prompt" in the Start Menu and picking "Run Elevated" from the menu
(if it's there). Then do your admin commands in that window.
