TSGL: : Make your internet faster, safer, smarter.

[jonpan]

Hi Chuck,

Yes, this obviously does have advantages for the home dsl-user and I seem to 
be the only one who can enter the
required dns numbers and still not be registered with them!

Try it. It's dead easy to do it and I'll hope that it works for you.

Best,

John

don't quite understand
  is this opendns appropriate only for in charge of a network
  or is the individual at home to benefit when using DSL or dial-up  also 
???

  John & Ray,

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.
