1) Close the game.

2) In Windows click Start, run..., in the window type

cmd

press enter.

3) In the new window type

ipconfig /flushdns

Alternatively, go to "My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network Conections" -> right click your LAN or Wireless Connection -> Select Disable, then re-enable it.

If you are still unsuccessful, reset your modem/router, then perform the instructions again. As explained below in the thread, some ISP's hold the cached DNS data for longer periods of time, therefore this will not work for you YET. There isn't much you can do apart from trying again later.

Mac version by Triselley in a post below.

Close WoW.

Open Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities

Type:

lookupd -flushcache

For Windows Vista (why would you EVER run Vista...)

1. Click the Microsoft Vista Start logo in the bottom left corner of the screen
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. RIGHT-click on Command Prompt
5. Select Run As Administrator
6. In the command window type the following and then hit enter: ipconfig /flushdns

Good luck.
