Useful tip
For info, you can improve your PCs internet DNS lookup over the service supplied by your ISP by using the following.
http://www.opendns.com/ The beauty is that a few large ISPs are looking to hijack the DNS service to redirect you to marketing sites when you misspell a website. No cost, nowt to download, just a couple of simple changes that take minutes to do. Highly recommended IMHO |

Re: Useful tip
are you sure you have selected TCP-IP in the list before clicking "Properties"?
Its sometimes off the bottom and you have to scroll down to it |
