Is Verizon not allowing connections to alternate DNS servers anymore?

Last night I ran a DNS benchmark test, and a notice popped up saying my ISP was intercepting and redirecting all outgoing DNS requests. I've been using OpenDNS for a year now without any problems, then I found out last night I am not connecting to their servers, so I tried Googles servers, no luck there either.
I called tech support (several times) and no one could give me a straight answer to my question: Is Verizon not allowing connections to alternate DNS servers anymore? I was forced to switch back to Verizon servers, not happy about that.
Can someone please answer my question? Thanks.

I'm on FiOS and I've got no issues using OpenDNS. I have the Quantum router set to use it. Works fine.
I've manually changed DNS on my computer to google's servers. No problems with this, either.

Acrobat does not allow connection to

Need help with this error message please. Using Win7, saved a Word 2010 table of contents with multiple links to pdf files across internal servers as a PDF. Also created the word doc w/multiple pdf links as a PDF file using acrobat9 standard and have same problems. when a user with Adobe Reader 8+ clicks on a pdf link in the PDF table of contents file, they get an error message Acrobat does not allow connection to: and they cannot open the linked file. However, I am able to open the files using the same links with both reader and acrobat.
This worked previously until we upgraded to these versions of software... the error message shows a number of % signs and multiple ////. However, i can open the fiile but others cannot.
anyone have any ideas or is this a fix that i need to download?

not sure where my previous reply went; however, there are numerous machines at varuious sites that will be accessing this server/folder. I am not sure if it is a trusted sites issue as the file lists numerous PDF links and some of them open to the respective pdf file and others recieve the mssage. All the files reside on the same server within the same main folder and within subfolders. never had the problem before. the users can open some of the linked files and others the connection msg appears. I however, am able to open the same links they get the error on. I am totally baffled by this and have been troubleshooting for weeks now. I just had acrobat X installed to see if that would help but still problem. I also saved the word doc (2010) as pdf (which lists the links to the other pdfs) but users still have same problem. there are approx 75 links within this doc and I truly hope we don't have to relink everything..

Submit PDF Form by Email (does not allow connection)

It's been sometime since I have created a PDF which included a "Submit by Email" button. I opened the original form and changed the email addresses, saved it, then opened it in Reader. Whenever I try to submit it by email a "Security Block" window pops up stating "Acrobat does not allow connection to:" I have tried to call and pay for support but get the run around. I've searched the web and only found where I need to "Extend the Rights to Reader" which I did to no avail. I've even rebuilt the form from scratch...nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks....

I created the form first in Microsoft Word, then "printed" it to create a PDF. I then use Acrobat to create a bunch of fields, and set the form for distribution.
When the user completes the form in Acrobat, and clicks on the "Submit" button, an email is created with the form as an attachment, and the body of the message is this:
Instructions to add this form to a responses file:
1. Double-click the attachment.
2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.
Those are the instructions I was referring to. The question is, is there any way to change or eliminate those instructions?

Mimo access points with Static WEP security do not allow connection speeds above 54mbps

I am getting this message:
Access Connections - Mimo access points with Static WEP security do not allow connection speeds above 54mbps
If I switch from WEP to WAP i do not get the message but I still only get 54mbps speed. I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router. Is there a setting that I am missing???

Yes you need to use WPA-AES or WPA2-AES, or no encryption, to go faster than 54Mbps. This is part of the 802.11n spec.
That's not so bad, because if you have the right 802.11n card and use the right settings you can go up to 300Mbps!
What bites is that the 802.11n card which comes with X-Series ThinkPads is the Intel 4965AGN. It does not support the broader 802.11n 40MHz channel width option, limiting the top speed to 130Mbps .
The new ThinkPads based on the Montevina/Centrino 2 platform will most likely use the Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 802.11n/WiMax cards, which I hope will fix this, coz I'm going to buy one!

ERecruiting - Data Overview - "Acrobat does not allow connection to..."

Hello gurus,
how is it going?
I'm facing one strange problem in eRecruiting.
We've got customized smartforms for Candidate and Requisition overview.
On Candidate overview we've got part, where URL links of assigned requisitions are shown.
By opening these links, it should open Requisition overview page.
But when I want to open this link, I'm getting popup window, where is written:
"Acrobat Does not allow connection to..."
I've got Acrobat Reader X, I've updated "Trust manager" and "Security (Enhanced)" also in Page preferences.
But still facing this error.
Could you advice me, how I can solve it?
I've already read many pages on google, but still nothing....
Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Luke.

Hi,
first I have a question:
You say you have the Candidate Overview Smartforms containing links to a requisition Smartforms?
So this is a custom development isn't it?
Is the Adobe Acrobat opening within a Browser window or as a dedicated programme?
If Adobe is opened separately please check, that the Browser Integration of Adobe is active within Adobe's settings.
Links within Smartforms are relative links in general and therefore just working when called in-browser.
Best regards
Sebastian

Acrobat does not allow connection to a certain website

I have a PDF with a link to a pdf-file on a certain website. When one user clicks the link it says ( it is in dutch, so i try to translate):
Acrobat does not allow connection with www.XXXX (the name of the link where the link addresses to)
We work in Citrix, most users do not have the problem, only one user has.

Compare the Security (enhanced) and Trust Manager settings for yourself and the user on the same machine. If they are not identical, make them so. If that doesn't work,
I'm assuming the msg appears in a dialog and not the yellow msg bar.

I need to switch my iPod touch, 4S generation, computers. I use Dell, I origanally had it synched on a d=Dell laptop, but am not allowed to do so on that anymore. I am on a Dell PC, and want to change it over to this computer. How do I do that?

I need to switch my iPod touch, 4S generation, to another computer. I use Dell, I origanally had it synched on a Dell laptop, but am not allowed to do so on that anymore. I am on a Dell PC, and want to change it over to this computer. How do I do that?

Plug it in and sync it.
It will erase the ipod content and replace with the content from the new computer so make sure that you have copied everything form the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to your new one first.

Firfox will not open. then it gives a message of proxy server not allowing connection

Firefox will not allow me to open it. When I could open it, it tells me a proxy server is not allowing a connection.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Wifi Connected but not allowing connection to internet....

Ok for starters I am by no means computer illiterate. I have several industry certifications and have worked in IT in one form or another for over 10 years. That being said I have tried all the obvious solutions to fix this issue. So please save your effort in telling me to flush dns servers, check connection settings on clients, run ipconfig with various switches, etc... all this has been done and failed. That is not to say I know everything, because I don’t, I’m just saying that I have tried all the obvious troubleshooting routes.
Now… on to my issue. I have a WRT54GS ver. 5 and it has worked flawlessly for several years now. My machine is hard wired to the access point and I have no troubles connecting to the internet via said PC. The wireless I use for my wife’s laptop and my iPhone. I use mac filtering and WPA Personal with TKIP, dhcp is disabled and IP's are assigned manually via TCP/IP settings in windows. Two days ago my wife complained that she was unable to connect to the internet despite the fact that she had a solid connection to the AP. After checking her machine and finding everything in order in terms of the connection settings I also discovered that my iPhone was also unable to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, again despite a strong connection to the AP. This led me to believe that the issue lied with the AP since nothing had changed on the client machines and all the connection settings were correct. I am able to ping the AP from the client but it is not routing traffic to the internet.
That brings me to troubleshooting the AP. I logged in and verified that all settings were as they had always been in the router, not one thing had changed. So to make absolutely sure it was not some setting in the AP that had been changed somehow I reset the router to defaults and re-configured it EXACTLY as it had always been. Still no love. I also tried the following to further troubleshoot the issue with no luck:
Clearing WINS and TCP/IP stack in windows on the laptop.
Disabling WPA and connecting with no security save MAC filtering
(yes I made sure that MAC filtering was set to permit and that all MAC addresses were correct)
Upgraded to the latest firmware.
Unplugged wireless phones throughout the house and cycled through all 11 channels to rule out interference.
I guess what I am now trying to figure out is whether or not the routers Wi-Fi is bricked. Is it possible for the Wi-Fi to be bricked but still be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network with a strong signal and for wired to work just fine? I would think that if the Wi-Fi was kaput that one would not be able even connect to the AP via wireless. I am to the point now where I’m about to say screw it and just go buy a Wireless N router and be done with it. But to be honest I am a little leery of Linksys now if a two or three year old router is bricked without warning or any apparent cause. Even though I have used Linksys products for the entirety of my IT career, I am now having second thoughts about going with cisco products if indeed it is bricked and I have to go out and buy another AP. Any help the community here can offer would be much appreciated, I don’t mind getting a new AP as the N speeds would be a plus but I want to make sure that all hope is lost for the WRT54GS before I do.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, as stated in the OP all clients wired or otherwise have IP's and DNS info manually entered in windows TCP/IP configuration. All of the IP info has been the same for years and it works fine on my machine (hard wired) with the only difference being the last octet of the IP, subnets and DNS settings are the same on all clients.
All 4 clients (My PC, Laptop, Iphone, and wireless printer) can all ping both ways without issue. As I mentioned before the wireless clients connect to the AP just fine and all settings are verified correct. My WLAN is still working flawlessly and I can connect to and view all clients and shares. The issue seems to lie with the WiFI routing to the internet: I can connect to the internet from the wired PC and all the clients on the local network have connectivity, the only issue I have is that the wireless clients (in spite of a working connection to the AP) cannot seem to get thorugh the internet. However I did change the RTS and Fragmentation to 2304 and the beacon to 50 as you advised and set the DNS servers to what you listed on the wireless machine and was still able to ping back and forth but had no connectivity to the internet.

WRT-150N Not allowing connection?

Hey everyone, I posted this over in LELA too, but I am just trying to figure this one out...
I have a 150N, 2 Dell 1420 Laptops (vista), a Dell 510e Desktop and a WD My Book World Edition NAS Hard Disk attached to the router.
My 510 and the Drive come up without any issue - the first 1420 comes up no problems (LELA installed) - but the 2nd 1420 does not come up consistently. They are set up exactly the same and both have LELA installed.
One thing I did notice is that when LELA was installed on the first 1420, the windows networking icon in the Systray was removed. The second 1420 has the icon still there (LELA icon is there as well).
I'm pretty versed in home networking, but this one has me baffled... I upgraded from a Linksys B series router that worked great, but was not encrypted. This one is set to WPA2-Personal...
OS: VISTA (laptops - wireless) XP (desktop - wired) - ISP: Verizon - WRT-150N Router (WPA2-Personal) and only have a problem connecting consistently with ONE wireless connection...?
Any thoughts?

I'm able to detect the network (and router) on the first laptop and the desktop (hardwired) but I'm not able to see it on the 2nd laptop. The only difference in the laptops is one is running McAfee and the other is running Trends Micro...
It's very strange....
When I do a hard reset (unplug the router) it does bring the network back up for the 2nd machine to see, but I lose the network drive on the 1st machine for a few mintues.
More than anything, it's a pain to have to reset to get the 2nd machine to see it. I've been using a B series forever and know the routers pretty well. This one is just baffling to me...

Gateway 7500 not allowing connection for bluray player

I recently installed a new westell gateway 7500 to provide an additional ethernet port for my samsung bluray player.
Got a green light, full internet connection for my pc but no go for the bluray player. The status shows as connected but i am unable to access the net.
Have checked and rechecked the configuration of the blue ray player, samsung says that the modem is blocking access
The firewall is off. Have rebooted EVERYTHING several times.
Verizon tech support is useless, I have called at least six times over the past two weeks. I have been told that they are not trained on this equipment and that my only recourse is to purchase premium tech support.
HELP!!!!!!!

ITS 6.20 Install not allowing connections via URL

Hi! I just did an install of the ITS.6.20 for Red Hat Linux ES 4.0. The specific package itsLinux_24-10001237.sar.

I have installed the SAP program into /usr/sap/its/6.20 as default.
We also have 3 virtual hosts for each of the ITS instances called R3P, HRP, and ADM. Can someone please give insight on what could possibly be wrong?

what is the answer, I do not see it!

Why does Verizon not allow unlock bootloaders?

So I been wondering why is it Verizon is blocking the bootloaders on Android phones, when you have manufacturers unlocking them for the users who are paying a ridiculous amount for the phones to begin with. I was hoping to see the droid phones unlocked, and motorola is living up to their end by unlocking them, but it seems Verizon is being difficult about it. I think since we do pay a ridiculous amount of money for the phones we should at least have that abililty.
I find it odd that it is no problem to the rest of the world, who seem to get their updates quicker as well. But over here Verizon has a issue,

I understand verizon uses them for profit and yada yada yada, but you should be allowed to delete them.

fyi...."if" your device ever gets ice cream sandwich, one of the features of it will be that you can completely disable preinstalled apps. you still can't uninstall them, but you can disable them to the point that they will not show up in the app drawer AND will never randomly open and start running. i thought this was a pretty nice feature.
Yeah actually using go launcher on my phone, and one of the neat features it has it allowed me to hide the bloatware, so at least it's a little more helpful. Yeah I'm glad google is finally wanting to get somewhat of a handle on the bloatware, that's one of the reasons I am really looking forward to the new nexus phone coming to Verizon. I am half tempted to use the "r word" heaven forbid people use the word and want to have complete control of their phone lol.

Upgrade to Mavericks does not allow connection to my Lacie external hard drive

I have updated my OS to Mavericks and since then I cannot connect to my external hard drive (Lacie Network Space 2) using my MacBook. I have tried with a PC running windows 7 and it works. Is there anything that I can do?

Hello Sir Gudo,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive. I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not being recognized.
