Just to add to this, in Windows Vista you will need to run the command prompt as an administrator. Instead of the method above do the following:
1) Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories and then Right Click ‘Command Prompt’.
2) Select ‘Run as Administrator’ and then type ipconfig/flushdns and it should work.
