wine users - Jun 2010 - Windows Command

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to execute a windows command like :

Code:
ipconfig /flushdns



On Windows, i must launch the console (cmd) and execute this command. But with
Wine, it's possible?

Thanks

It won't work...

ipconfig is not implemented, and Wine is minimally involved with networking...

nscd is sometimes used for DNS caching (and restarting it should
work...) If it is not installed, something else might be used... ask
your distribution's forum how to clear the DNS cache... (it might be
that no caching is done by default...)

Have a look at the man pages for:
nsswqitch.conf
resolv.conf
nscd (if it is installed)
dnsmasq (if it is installed)

No.  Wine relies on the underlying Internet connection provided by your 
operating system.

Also, this is not a very good command to use in Windows anyway.
