Guide to help you flush your DNS
if you are using firefox use this vid to clear your cache and then use the steps below-


If you are using Google Chrome or IE (Internet Explorer) follow the below instructions

press the windows key and the R key's. the windows keyon the bottom left of your keyboard

after you have the Run box open, will look like this -->
in that box type in CMD and press enter you should now see this kind of box -->

now type in the blackbox this phrase: ipconfig /flushdns
now press enter you should now see this message:

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

now close the black box by click the X in the upper right hand corner and re-open your browser and navigate to Halotracker.com.

if you still have issues where your address bar shows a Number instead of halotracker.com...close your browser and then try these steps again.

and if that still fails send me a PM or come find me in the Chatbox and we will try to get you squared away.

Re: Guide to help you flush your DNS
lol...ya unfortunately in 2011 we still have to do this sometimes.

I don't know why we cant reduce the TTL on dns to somethign smaller.


This is my opinion, not the official opinion of Halotracker

Re: Guide to help you flush your DNS

So if I don't see numbers, and I don't have a problem at all, will this help me in any other way?

Like will it make things speed up by maybe .oooooo1%?
