Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks | | English term or phrase: DNS | If you are experiencing any abnormal behavior on the website such as getting logged out often, receiving the error 'web browser behavior could not be confirmed', or have a link take you to the wrong page you may need to flush the DNS
DNS either stands for domain name system or domain name server, but I'm also looking for the German equivalent (preferably in expanded form as well as the abbreviation, if applicable).
I'm assuming flush means "leeren"? |

| | DNS-Cache | Explanation:
Source text does not seem to make sense. I think a word ("cache") is missing at the end, and that they are talking about the DOS command "ipconfig /flushdns" (lokaler DNS-Cache wird geleert).

DNS does, in this context, stand for \"domain name server\" (not for \"domain name service\"). See http://be.trendmicro-europe.com/enterprise/security_info/ve_... |

Explanation:
Die Abkürzung wird im Deutschen beibehalten. DNS steht im Übrigen für Domain Name Service, was wiederum auch meist nicht übersetzt wird. Cornelsen Wörterbuch Informationstechnik und Medien gibt als mögliche Übersetzung oder viel mehr Deutung "Hostname im Internet" an.
