Google: Can’t Find Server

Today I tried visiting Google to search for something, but then it said that it couldn’t find the server. This seemed very strange because I had just been there minutes before. I checked Gmail (since I had it open) and it worked just fine. I checked another website and that one was displayed. So, I tried Google again and it told me it couldn’t find the server, again.

I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I told David and learned something new. He told me to do the following:

  1. Open up a command prompt. (Start > Run: type cmd and press enter.)
  2. Type ipconfig /flushdns
  3. Press enter.

I checked Google and the search engine was found!
