[QUOTE="Littlebits, post: 133291, member: 146"] With some routers like Cisco Linksys, the DNS has to be change on the router configuration. Changing it on Windows settings will not change DNS servers. Windows will still use what is configured within the router. You must check your router's configuration for DNS servers. The default should be: 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3 and so on if you have room for more than three. If the default is configured as above then Windows will honor the settings configured on the Network configuration. If anything else is in your router's DNS, then Windows will ignore your custom DNS settings. Enjoy!! :D [/QUOTE]
