Re: [HSI] How to not make friends with DNS
I am using OpenDNS which works awesome.

You might try manually setting your DNS to the OpenDNS servers and see if that works for you. |

Saint Louis, MO | Whenever I try to use Open DNS by putting it into my WinXP's TCP/IP properties, it won't let me access Google. So far that is the only site I cannot access. When I let charter pick the DNS, Google opens fine. What gives? |

Yes, I've tried it both ways. Very strange. Soon as I put the Open DNS numbers in it stops working for Google. Soon as I take them out, everything is fine. That's the only site that doesn't work for me and wouldn't be a big deal, but I use and like Google a lot. |

OpenDNS runs a google proxy 'as a service for you' This probably explains why google breaks when you use OpenDNS.

There is no requirement, than common convention, for a URL to include the 'www' in the FQDN. The site operator can pick whichever will suit his needs, and set up the DNS record accordingly.
