Re: EMBARQ Hijacks Browser Search Capabilities

Sounds like you didn't release and renew you pc's ip/dns after you set the info in your router.
click Start
then Run
enter cmd then click ok
type the following seperately

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

That will pull a fresh ip and dns from your router, then you should no longer see Embarq's, OpenDNS has thier own mistyped url redirect also but you can opt out of it easily enough, you can even create shortcuts so for instance "dslr" can redirect you to the full dslr url.
