Clear WINS cache?

Hmm - I don't think there is one (corrections welcome). WINS means the
server has the info...not the clients. What problems are you having? Are you
sure they aren't DNS related? You can clear the DNS cache using ipconfig
/flushdns.....
 
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK |
When a command prompt opens, type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Hit Enter
 
I had made a change to a static mapping on both of my WINS server (by
deleting the records and recreating them with updated info) but when I ping
the system by name (defined in the WINS) it still pings the old IP address.

"Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]"
 
nbtstat -RR

That should clear the WINS Cache on the client.

nbtstat /?

nbtstat -rR

-r (resolved) Lists names resolved by broadcast and via WINS
-R (Reload) Purges and reloads the remote cache name table

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Duh. Thanks. Wasn't thinking in terms of "NetBIOS cache" although of course
WINS is NetBIOS.
