Thanks for the response:
Finally got the DNS problem working. (btw I was unable to cut and paste from
the cmd, ipconfig /all window)
Seems there was an intermittent updating of data of my dynamic IP to
opendns.com's system. The cause being my computer was not on line all the
time.
see
http://opendns.marc-hoersken.de for data on what I'm using.
While this is a solution it requires me to keep at lease one machine (in
addition to the Buffalo wifi) on line and powered up.
My question now is there any way to run this application/process from the
WHR-HP-G54 device itself?
Also is there any practical way to block the DHCP from accessing the DNS3
and DNS4 from my ISP? Better yet to have the DHCP system access ONLY
opendns.com?
I ask as I have grand and foster kids visiting and I like the option of
controlling access without having to mess with the individual computers.
(that option has proven to be problematic as these kids seem to be computer
savvy enough to by pass most of what we've done with regard to filtering
content at the machine level)
Regards and TIA
