1208360 2011-06-11 08:30:00 I have just signed up for Open DNS. Can I block the content that goes to the computer I am currently using without affecting the other PC's in the house, or the router. Would I need to setup a static IP or dynamic. QW. (15883)
1208361 2011-06-11 09:11:00 Pretty sure you can't do individual pcs on your network as it works off your public ip address.
The paid version of opendns may be able to.

1208362 2011-06-11 09:34:00 You should be able to set the DNS addresses differently on each computer.

Although your public IP address is the same for each PC, different DNS servers will respond with different results.

Can change the DNS settings for the netbooks without affecting the desktop running the router?

1208364 2011-06-14 10:05:00 Yes, for Windows there is a setting under Control Panel > Network Connections somewhere that can be changed from auto find the DNS server addresses to manual entry.

I can't post a screen-shot as I'm trying out my new Linux installation.
