Need help understanding how DNS should be set up...

Some time back I was advised to switch my network settings such as to start using the OpenDNS servers rather than the ISP (Comcast) servers that were setup by default... I did so, at least I did so in the Network/DNS settings on my MacBook Pro... But I just noticed today that my Airport Extreme Router has its own DNS settings and those are still set to the Comcast settings...
How does all this work??? Which DNS settings matter, the ones in the Network setup for each Mac or PC in my home network??? Or do the Router settings win over everything else???
I need a brief tutorial on how to properly set up the DNS settings not just for a computer but for an entire home network... Any feedback???? thanks...

I do appreciate the help... One other interesting thing I encountered recently... I was in Oakland airport where they have free wifi... I found myself unable to connect though I had been successful in other earlier visits there.... I got curious and played for a while... What I discovered (after an hour of trying but I had time) was that I had to change my DNS settings on my computer to an address very similar to the home page IP of the airport website... I don't recall now how I came to finally figure that out but it was happenstance more than anything... I vaguely recall me stumbling upon some message where the airport was suggesting a DNS value to use. It popped up on the screen or inside the Network settings or somewhere.. I think it was when I was walking through the connection wizard which I did several times before I had success...
But I've never had that experience in airports before... All of this shows how my ignorance of DNS keeps finding ways to impact my ability to "get connected" when here or there... Again, just another interesting DNS issue I stumbled upon recently... thanks...

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

I need help understanding how this works. AS 2.0

Its my first time here and i only started learning flash today. I aint too great with maths and i was showed this piece of code that makes a triangles point follow the cursor. It involved mathimatical things ( which i aint so great at) and the guy said "You dont need to know how it works, just how to use it." well i copied his code and it worked, but i have no idea how to use it in other rotation apart from the one he taught us. I dont even understand how to redo his code i saved it to a word document and anytime i wanted to make something rotate something in that fashion i would refer to that. But i dont want to have to do that, i want to know how to use it, dont have to understand it, but use it for other rotation matters. If you are going to help, please try to be a bit simmple i explaining it, cause im new. Dont get me wrong i aint thick but i can find it a bit hard to follow some things, that is i my current problem.
here is the rotation code:
onEnterFrame = function()
hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number
dy = _ymouse-mc._y;
dx = _xmouse-mc._x;
rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
rotate = rad*180/Math.PI
return rotate+90
also if it helps, here is the video i was watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OfrpbNhHs
please if you can, explain how the entire thing works.
thanks for any help given in advance.

Hi,
Here's a short primer. It may not be sufficient but here goes.
1st, move the closing bracket at the end and put it on the third line. This makes the code more efficient
onEnterFrame = function(){                               // this causes Flash to repeatedly
                                                                          execute the next line at the
                                                                          frame rate you selected
                                                                          for your document
       hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);               // this tells Flash to rotate a
                                                                          movie clip (named hero) based
                                                                          on the function getmouse()
};                                                                     // putting the }; here makes the
                                                                          code more efficient and readable
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number{   // This is the function called with
                                                                         mc referring to hero that was
                                                                         passed from the second line.
     dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                        the y position of the movieclip
                                                                        from the mouses y position
     dx = _xmouse-mc._x;                               // dx = delta x (same as above line
                                                                        but on the x axis)
                                                                     // once you have the x and y sides
                                                                        you male a triangle.
                                                                        Now use trig to find the angle
     rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians
                                                                        the arc tangent atan2 will give the
                                                                        angle in radians
     rotate = rad*180/Math.PI                            // you want to convert the radians to
                                                                        degrees, that's what this line does
     return rotate+90                                         // this returns the value of rotate back
                                                                        to the calling function in line 2.
                                                                        the +90 determines which part
                                                                    // of the hero movie clip is facing the
                                                                       mouse.
If you put the mouse cursor over any of the green reserved words above in the Actions panel you will get a desctription of what these do.
hope that helps.

Need help understanding how ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist

I'm trying to understand something that happened in our network recently. Current, we're all ipv4 based, but a few machines here and there have ipv6 enabled by mistake. Everything has been working ok, but recently we had some dhcp issues. I'm trying to understand how exactly ipv6 and ipv4 work together.
Questions:
- if we have workstations with ipv6 enabled but no dhcpv6 servers, does the ff02::1:2 multicast address exist on the network? If something starts up a dhcpv6 server somewhere, would that explain why several workstations have started sending out dhcpv6 solicit messages?
- If workstations attempt to get an address via dhcpv6 and get no response, will it try dhcp with ipv4, or will it just assign a 169.254.*.* address?

Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried with Payload zip bean and the java mapping as mentioned in the response mapping of OM.
Payload zip bean - Zip zip.mode unzip
I am getting the error below in the receiver rest channel -

Java Mapping - used the java mapping in the response of Operation mapping
Here also i am seeing the same error in the channel log as it is synchronous step and the message got cancelled.
