TSGL: Make your internet faster, safer, smarter.

[jonpan]

Still sounds worth pursuing then. Does anyone use opendns through an 
internal DSL modem? I wonder if it's possible that it has to go through a 
router, although I can't imagine why?

Sorry if I'm a little late in replying but everything is working very 
nicely. And, yes, H Davis is right....I've found that all of Yahoo loads 
much faster. I haven't had any major difficulty that I can point out.  I did 
run the tests and everything was fine.  Probably not much help, but hope you 
can get it sorted out.  ( I seem to be confused about the order of these 
emails lately.....I feel like I'm in a time warp.)
HTH, good luck.

I missed the beginning of this thread (if there was one) but I've been
using OpenDNS for about 4 months now with really good results.

When I used my ISP for the DNS lookup, Yahoo would almost always time
out when looking up a news story but if I then clicked on the "Try
again" button the page would come right up. I assume the IP address
arrived at my ISP just after the time out so they had it the second time
I requested the page but it was a real PIA.

No problems at all with OpenDNS. Had to set their IP addresses into my
router though for Internet access.
