This will happen with corporate migrations. Eventually, the internet will pick up on whatever new addresses/hops are necessary to resolve to FR. It can take a few days.

As far as a MacBook goes, you want to do the following in the short term:

Apple —> System Preferences —> Network. Highlight Wifi. Click on Advanced. Go to DNS. Insert 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

OpenDNS will resolve to FR the right way. Google and the rest of the DNS servers should eventually resolve back to FR at some point in the near future.

It really shouldn’t take that long for the nodes to point to the new nameservers or IP addresses. Larger host sites send an update IIRC, but this may not be the case here.

The two numbers are already in my DNS when I am in wireless mode, but for some reason, last night I couldn’t connect to FR while wireless, using either Safari or Firefox. It was only when I used my ethernet connection that I was able to connect to FR on both Firefox and Safari. When using the ethernet connection, the only two numbers in my Network System Preferences, DNS option are the ones for Time Warner. And when I try to add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 under the Time Warner numbers, it erases Time Warner’s numbers, so I had to cancel the option of adding them there.

Strange, today so far (keeping my fingers crossed), it’s working on both ethernet and wireless connections.

Whew, this works for ipads too. Go to where your wifi settings are and click the little i at the end. Put in the two numbers that other freepers have listed for the DNS.

Sad to wake up with no FR. I found a way to click the TWC links and read FR, but then found that not being able to comment is as painful as the heartbreak of psoriasis.
