   Thanks for this and lots of other useful information.   
      
   Since my problem was with the web and not mail or news, and I use   
   Firefox, it was probably not caused by the Windows DNS cache, but with   
   something in Firefox or even in my ISP. It seems to have come right   
   now, not necessarily because of anything I tried.
