Question DNS Cache Won't Clear

[networkmage]

I manage websites, I have one that I recently switched host companies with.

The new one has a different IP of course.

I work from home on a desktop workstation.

For some reason, this computer will NOT clear DNS cache so I can view the website at its new IP address on the web.

I have tried almost everything I know of to clear DNS cache.

Even pinging in CLI is still showing the old host IP address and of course a no response to the ping. Yet if I go to my cell phone, the domain name resolves just fine, and at the library, and in another state, etc.

All other devices and regions are able to resolve the domain/dns.

I have tried almost everything:

-switching host DNS settings
-switching router DNS (privates and automatic)
- flush dns, renew, release
- browsers hacks, 4 browsers attempted, in all modes.
-Restarting PC
-Restarting Router and modem


How can this be possible?

I have tested these DNS servers also on my host AND router:

- ISP automatic ones
- 1.1.1.1
- 9.9.9.9
- 8.8.8.8

using vpn?

use ipconfig to see if there are dns cache
or you might have entry in host file.

YES! Thank you! Hosts file, it was.


How odd!!?? I haven't messed with host files locally in years. HOw on earth did an entry for this website get into my PC hosts file? This is weird...I never put it there, and other than 127 loca, this is the only one here.

This seems suspicious??

check the modified date if you haven't change it.

unless you have entry that you don't use. nothing suspicious
