This leads to a question that (this old fart)has been trying to find an answer to.

My pc runs on an adapter.
A pc in another room is hooked up to the DSL modem and router.
I have been wanting to try a site called Open DNS but don’t know what will happen if I change my DNS, (On This pc)?

Will that disconnect me from my other pc?

It might depend on what and how you are setup on each machine?

Both running Windows?

I did that with OpenDNS and had no problem.

How are you connected to the internet? By “adapter”, do you mean a Network adapter, as in an ethernet card, or a wireless USB adapter, or do you really mean a router?

I’m going to ASSume, that you are connected to your other PC by a router or switch. In which case, your router is what determines the DNS you use, so nothing will be disconnected. But, if you’re connected by a cable using MS internet sharing, then...

As for Open DNS it’s great for internet privacy nuts, like me, especially if you add an anonymous proxy service in the mix.

However, it’s not as reliably fast as my ISP is. The answer, obviously, is to donate a lot more money to OpenDNS so they can buy bigger, better, faster dns servers. LOL
