Euh... I have no idea if this is applicable or not... But if you have a static IP adres then the flushing will not do you any good. Especially if you are behind a so called router....
An ISP gives you an Internet adress (IP-adress) and that adress can only be changed by the ISP. If you are on Dail-Up then it should change very time you dial into the Internet. But else it would just stay the same. Some ISP's let is change but here in my country they do not.
So flushing and renewing an IP adres does not work for you then.....
The reason for that is that you only refresh your own local IP adress on your network/subnet.
For example...
My IP adres on the internet is 80.126.X.X (I am not posting my full adress here if you guys dont mind it :P The admins are able to see my adress.)
My IP adres on my computer is as following.

It is in dutch but if you type ipconfig /all in a dos window then you should see almost the same output.
Mark the following:
- DHCP ingeshakeld. . . . . . . . . : ja
- IP-adres. . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.25
- DHCP-server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
- Lease verkregen . . . . . . . . . : woensdag 13 februari 2008 3:08:27
- Lease verlopen . . . . . . . . . : donderdag 21 februari 2008 3:08:27
DHCP ingeshakeld == DHCP Enabled
(it is set to yes)
The IP-adres is 192.168.0.25
The server that gave me that adres is 192.168.0.1
I got that IP adres on a wednesday 13 feb 2008 at 3:08:27
It will give me a new one on Thursday 21 feb 2008 at 3:08:27
If I would type ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew
I would get a new IP adres like 192.168.0.10.
So that is purely the internal adress. The external adres that this website sees is only the 80.126.X.X
Or it will see my DNS name ;)
That is becaus I have a network here. So if you are at a public place and you try to refresh your IP-adress then you are out of luck. First of all they should have it blocked and second of all... Your external IP adres does not work.
Then for the flushdns.
What does flushdns do....
flushdns is a command that flushes the Dynamic Naming System/Service.
So that means that DNS is a tool that gets IP adresses for names. It is a complicated way of doing things so I wont try to explain it becaus it is not needed...
But IMAGINE that nihonomaru will relocate it's servers and get a new IP adress then you should use ipconfig /flushdns
Else you will not need it. It takes about 15 minutes to rebuild the cache btw ;) DNS is cashed locally on your computer.
If you reset the nework connection as described by Girlcelly then you are doing exactly the same as in the black DOS window. But then it has a nicer look.
So basically if you have a device that is connected to the internet 24/7 then chanses are that you will not have any luck to get on this site again if your IP adress is banned and if that IP adress does not change that is.
(This is in most of the cases...)
So if you then get a 403 then you are banned from viewing that website.
Quote:
400 Bad Request
The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.
401 Unauthorized
Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided. See Basic access authentication and Digest access authentication.
402 Payment Required
The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, but that has not happened, and this code has never been used.
403 Forbidden
The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it. Unlike a 401 Unauthorized response, authenticating will make no difference.
404 Not Found

Somethimes you can also get a 403 when the ISP blocked the website you are trying to view. It can be almost any status code... So be aware that it only helps to refresh your IP adres if you are not connected to an ISP that handels a static IP adres.. To test this just go to a website like:
http://www.whatismyip.com/
Then try the commands of refreshing the IP adress and then connect to that site again and see if the number has changed... If the number changed then you have a Dynamic IP adress (it changes) If it does not change then you have a Static IP adress provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
And if it does not change and you get a 403 then it is no good to refresh your IP adress since it will not give you access to the site's that give you a 403.
