Sorry about my earlier post - it's hard to make things detailed enough to be accurate yet not dumb it down too much and sound patronizing. > I think I'll stick with the OpenDNs for now and if I find it too slow > (at the moment it's actually faster than Comcast!) at busy times of > day, then I'll call Comcast and find out their DNS nearest to me. Actually this is provided to you automatically. Just like the DHCP server in your router, your ISP has a DHCP server as well that hands out public IP addresses - you will find your modem has a public IP address on its Internet side and you can find out what your public IP address is at www.whatismyip.com Included in the DHCP communication are also the addresses of two DNS servers. Your modem can pick this up and you may find these addresses get automatically added there or in your router. To test which servers are faster, ping them. > Thanks again for all the help!
