ratchet Posted October 17, 2006 CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 Or does this fall under the domain (no pun intended) of "if it ain't broke don't fix it"? Also if you do this, do you need to set both your router and your pc? As always, Thank You! http://tech.msn.com/howto/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1012046 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 17, 2006 CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 i dont do that its usially not needed unless your isp has really bad dns servers. you only have to set it on the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted October 18, 2006 CID Share Posted October 18, 2006 You can also use local DNS caching to bypass your ISP's DNS servers. All you need to do is make sure the DNS Client service is set to start automatically, which you can do via Services in Administrative Tools, and add the host's IP address to the HOSTS file on your machine. Don't know the IP address? Ping the site. See this guide for more details: Using the HOSTS file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
