Flush dns settings for Windows

Problem:

Brought my development box back onto the disconnected LAN.  I have the mac box running dns.
I connected my PC but it refused to acquire a new dns.  How to force the DNS to refresh?

Solution:
Ensure that the DNS service is still running on the Mac.  Mine had stopped which was the issue.
Once I restarted the Mac, I did the following commands:

cmd prompt (Admin)

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew
