    My host can't seem to help me so I thought someone here might be able to.

    I changed the DNS on my site 2SearchDeep.com yesterday by mistake and then I went and switched it back a few hours later but I still can't get it to come up for me. My host says the site shows fine for them but for me I keep getting a "Page Not Found" or "The Page Can Not Be Displayed". I tried clearing my cache with some command in the run box but it hasen't helped.

    thanks

    If you were running "ipconfig /flushdns" from the run box that should clear out your DNS cache. However your ISP could still have the old DNS record cached and thus returning the old DNS to you. Your host is likely using a different ISP and that ISP probably doesn't cache the results for as long or didn't have a cached copy at the time your host looked at your site.

    I can see your site fine too so it appears to be just the cached DNS record at your ISP. It should timeout eventually and fetch the updated DNS record.

    If it is what I believe is happening there is nothing you can do on your end other than wait for your ISP to have the cached DNS record expire. (Or switch to another ISP temporarily.) There isn't anything you can do to make your ISP expire the cache sooner.
