I have switched hosts for my website. When I try to go to my website on the
new host, my computer is confused and still sends everything to the old DNS.
My site displays fine on other computers, but on mine I get the page not
found error and I can see the old DNS in IE's bottom screen. I already did
clear history and delete offline files. No good.

How do I fix this. My new host told me to wait 24 hours, but it has been
three days.

to clear your dns resolver cache, open a command prompt (start>run and type
"cmd") and type the following, without the quotes and with the space:
"ipconfig /flushdns".

Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.
