I have a question about the best way to completely clear cache in linux. Installed wordpress in a subdir, set dns, waited some time, till the nameservers were set, pinged domain --pinged fine to new hosting provider. Logged into CP on new server, and noticed announcement that the domain had expired. I was like what the heck?!? So I contacted onandone (registrar & previous host) to ask about it. They said that it was set to autorenew. Well, from what bluehost told me (new hosting provider) the domain had expired and was re-registered. Unfortunately, this was right about the time when I set the WP to point to the original domain instead of the subdir.

Today, I load up Ubuntu as normal, but although my web browser will display my router's "admin page" (like it normally would) where I can see total amount downloaded etc, it refuses to browse to any other page on the internet. Evolution does not want to get my emails either. However, Transmission is okay downloading and uploading files/torrents. Router seems logged onto internet okay, so clearly I'm connected to something. Neither Firefox nor Chrome will bring up any web content. However, my system is dual-boot so on loading into Windows XP to see what happens, browsing is normal, no problems. In fact I am typing this message from Windows - no choice! I remember something about a "DNS cache" being corrupted as being the reason for browsing not being possible sometimes; however one website says "Ubuntu doesn't cache DNS records by default so unless you've installed a dns cache there isn't anything to clear". So, given my inability to surf in Ubuntu,

Hello, I have a computer assignment and I need the right command in linux. I need to display recent DNS records and clear them whenever I want. In windows "ipconfig /displaydns" and "ipconfig /flushdns" commands are used respectively. Are there any commands in linux which are equivalent to these ones? or in Linux isn't there such an option? Can "ifconfig" solve this problem? If yes what should be the exact options and command line?
