I have a local arera connection between my computer and my wife's
computer. We are connected with an ethernet connection. suddenly this
morning my wifes computer cannot sign on to the internet. I have tried
pinging from my PC to hers without success and vice versa. Under
Network connections on the control panel.Highlighting the Local area
connection icon and then clicking on the option" Repair this
connection" the following window comes up

"Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following
action could not be completed"

"Clearing the DNS cache"

What does this mean and how can I resolve the problem

TIA

It would seem that the locally stored DNS table is corrupt. Try
clearing it manually: From the Command Prompt (Start > Run >CMD), type
"ipconfig /flushdns" and press <Enter>.
