Google Public DNSGoogle just launched its free and open for all DNS service called, Google Public DNS. If you are suffering from a slow DNS provided by your ISP, you might want to switch to Google Public DNS.
How to use Google Public DNS service on windows operating
systems like XP, Vista and Windows 7
1. Go to “Network Connections”. (In Windows XP, CLick on “Start” -> “Connect To” -> “Show All Connections”).
2. Right click on your connection and click “Properties”.
3. Now, in properties, scroll down to “Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)” and click “Properties” again.
4. Now select “Use the following DNS server addresses” and enter these two addresses in the two fields:
Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
If you want to use OpenDNS instead of Google Public DNS, simply enter 208.60.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the two DNS address fields.
