I followed the instructions to setup DNS Connect on my W7/32 PC.
I rebooted, then went back to the website to use the Test to verify that I am using DNS Connect. It says that I am not using it. I rechecked the setup in the control panel and the addresses are there. I noticed that on their webpage they indicate that there is a utility that can be downloaded, but I could not find it. Does anybody here who uses DNS Connect had to download a utility? I use an ISP provided wireless GSM 3 dongle which uses its own DNS addresses. When I open a command prompt and type ipconfig/all, the addresses for DNS are that of the ISP. Does this mean that I can not use DNS Connect (noway, nohow)? |

I have a Sony EricssonMD300 with a Claro chip as backup for when my cable fails. The DNS servers are preset to OpenDNS and I cannot change them.

The DNS addresses can be 'flushed' from a router using the ipconfig flush command. It did not work on my wireless dongle. Edit: I just found out that Norton DNS Connect is only for WiFi Networks. I did not see this on the install page. My mistake. Last edited by emmjay; 24. Aug 2012 at 08:58 PM. |

Any device or application using DNS will usually have its own cache: the router has a DNS cache, Windows has a DNS cache, and web browsers each have a DNS cache.
