Changes take a while to show (DNS caching and how to clear it)

HonkIP updates your name within seconds, but phones, computers and networks remember answers for a short while. HonkIP keeps that to one minute, but some networks hold on longer.

• Windows: open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns.
• Mac: in Terminal, run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.
• Phones: turn flight mode on and off.

Still old after five minutes? Check Is my name working?.
