Open DNS and shortcuts?

I'm not sure what's going on, but Safari 4 is not exhibiting it's usual behavior when it comes to shortcuts. Or at least I think it's shortcuts.
When I used to type in "website" it would automatically go to "website.com" but now it takes me to the Open DNS guide instead of the website.
Anyone have any idea why this is suddenly occurring?

This has been an annoying issue since upgrading to Snow Leopard. It's one of those minor but incredibly irritating nuisances scattered throughout the OS. I know it was sort of a luxury to have it auto-complete the domain but when a feature like this goes missing you begin to realize how much you took it for granted. Is there a hack/fix for this?

  • Open DNS and internet sharing

    I am seeing strange behavior, and wondering if anyone has a thought about what is going on.
    I am at a hotel with fast internet service over ethernet, but, for whatever reason, DNS seems very slow if I use DHCP to connect (timeouts of 5-10 secs to get to a new site). If I switch to DHCP with fixed DNS, and use the Open DNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) the latency issues go away.
    The interesting thing is that I am sharing the internet connection over Airport to my wife's computer (she connecting thru DHCP). If I use a fixed DNS for MY computer, then her computer cannot connect thru internet sharing. But if I use the (slow) DHCP connection, then she can connect through mine. I have not tried setting up her computer with a fixed DNS, as she really doesn't like me to change settings on her computer
    Is this a known limitation of internet sharing, or is there something I should know?
    TIA

    In more detail, if my ethernet (the computer that is doing the sharing), is set up with Configure: Using DHCP, and DNS Server: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (in Network Panel for Ethernet), then the computer connecting thru Internet Sharing in Sharing Panel is not able to access some or all resources thru http (ie, pages fail to load, or do not fully load).
    However, if I clear the DNS Server part in the Network Panel, thereby using the the DNS Servers supplied by the hotel, then my computer's connection to the internet is slower, with long waits (presumably due to a slow DNS server), but computers accessing the internet via Airport thru my shared connection are able to browse the internet successfully.
    I suspect that when I have a fixed DNS server in my computer, that fact is not broadcast to computers using the shared connection. But I am not an expert in TCP/IP, and may well be confused about how DHCP, DNS, and Apple's Internet Sharing work together.
    Thanks for any ideas you have

  • What is open dns, and why is it blocking my home page?

    I don't know what "open dns" is, but when I try and open my home page, a news site, I get a message that says "This domain has been blocked by your network administrator." This is my own computer, and I didn't block anything. It just started doing this today and goes to http://block.opendns.com/ when I try to open a window. I can still access other sites. I flushed the cache, which didn't change anything.

    Hello g:
    I clicked on that link and got a message that access was blocked by my network administrator. Since I do not have a network administrator, something is bogus.
    Open DNS is explained here:
    http://www.opendns.com/start/
    I used to use it, but have not found it necessary in my own world.
    Somehow something has changed your settings.
    I have not used it, but some people have had success with this software:

  • I installed Open DNS and can't disable or eliminate it . Its terrible! How can I get rid of it?

    They say on their Website I must contact my ISP for assistance.

    You need to set other DNS servers on your computer to remove the OpenDNS servers.

  • Help setting up Open DNS with new airport extreme

    I cant seem to get Open DNS to work with a new airport extreme. The status says I am not using Open DNS and its not filtering anything. I have followed the exact steps for set up listed on their website, checked the dns settings, cleared both caches and restarted the computer, modem and router with no success. I set the airport up in bridged mode, although I tried the other option under setup, but not sure what I was doing? I picked up this router because I wanted easy set up and the apple store assured me it would work with Open DNS. Oh, and I also downloaded the latest firmware update on the router. Can anyone help me with the settings or what else I need to check?

    Sorry, I am not familiar with this product, so I checked online to pick up some information.  Here I am referring to the information found here:
    http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096
    I found that your device is mentioned as follows in the intro under Section 1 of this document:
    The BellSouth supplied Westell 2100, 2200 and 6100 models (Models A90-210030-04, B90-220030-04, and B90-610030-06/C90-610030-06, respectively) share many features and functions.
    Next, I am referring to the information under Section 2, under the heading of Standard Default Mode Connection (separate hub or switch present).  Unless you have changed the configuration on the Westell, this is how your device is operating. In this mode, the Westell device is acting both as a modem and router in one unit.
    So, an attached router (AirPort Extreme) must be configured as a switch to work correctly. That is what Bridge Mode is....the AirPort Extreme is operating as a switch when it is in Bridge Mode (which would be the correct setting to use when the Westell is set to its Standard Default Mode).
    Any changes that you want to make regarding DNS settings would need to be made on the Westell device, since it is acting as the main router on your network.
    In Bridge Mode, the AirPort Extreme simply passes that information through to its connected devices. You will not be able to make any DNS related changes on the AirPort Extreme since it receives that info from the Westel device. Some service providers force you to use their DNS servers, so you might want to check with Bell South or AT&T for more information in this regard.
    If you want to be able to configure the AirPort Extreme as the main router on your network, and instruct it to use the DNS information that you want, you will need to refer to the section under the heading of Bridged Ethernet Mode ( separate router present).
    Please note that the first item under this heading specifies that "This is the preferred configuration when using a separate external router..." (which would be the AirPort Extreme in your case)
    So, it appears to me that this would be the way that you must reconfigure the Westell device to allow the AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on your network. In this type of setup, you will be able to enter the DNS information that you want to use under the setup for the AirPort Extreme and it will act as you instruct.
    The AirPort Extreme would not be configured in Bridge Mode for this....it would be configured to "Share a public IP address".
    The next item in the article specifies that you "Must use a PPPoE client on the Router." This means that the AirPort Extreme would be configured to Connect Using = PPPoE as follows:
    AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    You would enter your user name (probably your email address), password, etc in this area. Leave the Service Area box completely blank. Set Connection to Always On, and Disconnect if Idle to Never
    Click Update to save the new settings. Power off the Westell device after this and then restart it so that it will pick up the new information that you have programmed into the AirPort Extreme.
    I want to stress that this is how I would try to configure the Westell and AirPort Extreme. But, as I said, have not used a Westell device, so I cannot say that this will work correctly for you.
    It might be an excellent idea to contact Bell South or AT&T Support to ask for their opinion on this before you decide to change the configuration of the Westel device and the AirPort Extreme.
    This type of thing can be intimidating for users, so you might elect to use the services of someone like the Geek Squad at Best Buy, or a similar service from a local computer firm. Perhaps the Apple store could help as well.
    If it is not critical that you use Open DNS, you might want to simply leave things "as is", with the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

  • Cisco Linksys E3000 - Open DNS Error

    I just purchased a Cisco Linksys E3000 and got it set up pretty much the way I want it. My only remaining problem is I wish to used Open DNS as my DNS server. On Line chat support says,"Please access router set up. Under the set up tab you will see the option for DNS1 and DNS2 please change it to 208.87.222 & 208.67.220 and save settings". I replied"I am on the basic set up page and currently I see Static DNS 1 thru 3 which are currently all zeros is that where you want me to put the new DNS numbers?"
    I made the changes as directed, saved and also flushed the DNS cache in Windows and in Firefox, rebooted and everything worked great.
    The problem is if the computer goes to sleep or is shut down when it restarts it cannot find the DNS server! What am I missing?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. This one really has me baffled
    As you can see below the static DNS is set to 3 adddresses for Open DNS and everthing works fine.untill either the computer goes to sllep or is shut down. Then the router can no longer locate a DNS server. The only way I can find to get everything working again is to zero out the address for Open DNS and reboot the router which somehow reestablises the DNS servers as:
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . 156.154.119.11
                                           156.154.129.11
                                           192.168.1.1
    You can also this below and I hope you have some idea of what is happening. I never had this problem before with any other routers on this system.
    Thanks,
    Chick

  • OPEN DNS HAS SOLVED MY SAFARI 5 ISSUES

    Thought previously that the disk permissions would completely resolve the issue but was still experiencing some problems that others have described. Saw another post on open dns so googled it and found this article: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/safari-5-0-hangs-while-loading-pages-fix/
    Plugged in the numbers for the open dns and all seems to be fine in the Safari 5 universe now!

    No, that link doesn't work but the information is correct!
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    (An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:

  • How do I set up a second home network that bypasses Open DNS?

    I have been having trouble downloading and streaming itunes content because I use Open DNS on my network.
    There have been many posts about disabling Open DNS to solve the problem but if I do that, my internet filter goes away.
    I would rather set up a second network that bypasses Open DNS and use it only for my Apple TV.
    Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
    I have airport extreme base station with a second airport to extend the range, mac desktop, mac laptop, ATV, several iphones and ipads.
    I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
    Thanks in advance!

    Are you suggesting that I go into my Airport router settings and just blank out the DNS settings and then reboot it?
    Yes, exactly. You can always input those addresses again, if it does not solve the problem.
    OpenDNS may offer some advantages over your whatever your ISP uses for DNS but optimizing download speed is not one of them.
    Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion that Open DNS is the problem when maybe it isn't.
    It is possible. As I understand it, Apple's servers attempt to use a location near you to deliver iTunes content, and OpenDNS may result in pointing it to a less ideal location.
    3 hours may or may not be normal for HD movie. The download speed depends on a number of factors that are difficult to surmise without knowing details about your network and your ISP.

  • Using Open DNS etc with a Verizon and secondary router

    I have a Airport Extreme Base Station setup in Bridge Mode to the Verizon router. How do I add  or replace the DNS server to Open DNS etc?

    You need to set your desired DNS servers in the Actiontec since that is your DHCP server.  When the AEBS is in bridge mode, its DHCP server is disabled.
    Login to the Actiontec
    Click on the My Network icon
    Select Network Connections from the left menu
    Select Broadband coax or Broadband ethernet as appropriate.
    Click on Settings
    Across from DNS Server, select "Use the following DNS Server addresses" from the pulldown.
    Enter the primary and secondary DNS Server addresses for OpenDNS.
    Click Apply.

  • DNS, Open Directory, and wow my head hurts

    OK, I’m slowly pulling my ear hairs out over this.  My comprehension of the DNS world is modest at best (I know enough to get into trouble). I did not set up most of this (not the DNS parts anyway), and I’m trying to unravel what exactly is going on.  Maybe it’s exactly as it should be; but it seems awfully convoluted to me, so if you’re bored and want to show off your expertise and ability to explain it to a kindergartener, please read on…
    Let’s say my Domain is mydomain.com. (You can probably figure out what it really is, but I’d rather not sprinkle a post with it.)
    Our firewall is a Sophos UT320. It obviously supports forwarding of DNS info from our ISP.  While it’s own documentation says it does not have a full-fledged dns server, it does have something called “Static Entries” which seems to be a bare-bones dns server of sorts. I can set any static domain name (myserver.mydomain.com for example), point it to a server on our lan, and everyone internally can get to that server by using myserver.mydomain.com instead of 192.168.blah.blah.  It also supports reverse DNS, so if I issue a host 192.168.blah.blah command from my computer, I get “blah.blah.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer myserver.mydomain.com.” My guess is that it’s only serving up A records.  No one from outside our LAN can access these servers or records (unless they’re on a VPN of course).
    Now, in our lan, we have a bunch of Mac Servers.  Our Open Directory server has DNS service enabled on it, and the primary zone is set to od.mydomain.com.  It has some A records pointing to myserver.mydomain.com, myotherserver.mydomain.com, etc.
    Another server, located at, myserver.mydomain.com, has a DNS service who’s primary zone is mydomain.com (yes, it matches our external domain name). It contains A records for itself, the OD Server, and others.
    Reverse lookup works fine throughout the lan.
    All DNS Servers’ Forwarders are our router.
    I did a test where I turned off all these internal DNS servers (yes, there’s more) and pointed all the servers to the router. It seemed fine at first, I could issue HOST commands to and from every server to every other one and resolve both names and addresses.  The router seemed to be doing fine.
    After a day or so (I assume after the TTL elapsed), people started getting permissions errors on the servers, so I turned it all back on.
    This is with 10.6.8 Servers (one is running 10.9 but it doesn't seem to have DNS running).
    So here’s my questions:
    Why would my OD Server’s DNS Service’s primary zone be “od.mydomain.com” and not just “mydomain.com”?
    Does it make sense (or even matter) to have these DNS entries ending in mydomain.com when that’s our website’s address? (We host our own site and email server, btw.)
    Why would OD not work after all these DNS Servers were turned off, when HOST command shows it can get to every other machine and they can get to it?  What else, besides the A record and reverse lookup, could be included in the full-blown DNS servers that wouldn’t be in the Sophos bare-bones one, but still allow reverse lookups to function?  What else does OD want from DNS??
    Wouldn’t it be better, even if this all was necessary, to set up a single internal DNS Server (ok, maybe plus a backup)?  Why would this service be running, with a variety of A records, on almost every server we have?
    Is there a site that can explain DNS, and actually define every acronym, abbreviation, etc it uses?  Every time I try to learn something I go down a wiki rabbit hole.
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    OK, the answer to this seemed to be to not rely on Sophos' "Static Entries" DNS functionality.  Even though it allows "HOST" commands to work for both reverse and forward lookups, OD and/or Kerberos needs more.  Once I made a zone on our OD Server that listed itself, our replica server, AND our email server (which uses Kerberos), and made what I think is now a proper secondary DNS server on our replica server, and pointed the OD server's DNS to itself, the replica to itself, and kept the email server using the Sophos for DNS, it worked.

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

  • On my home wireless network, the iphone 5 won't let me enter the IP address, subnet mask and router info. I was able to enter the DNS and Search Domains. How do I open up those fields?

    On my home wireless network, the iphone 5 won't let me enter the IP address, subnet mask and router info. I was able to enter the DNS and Search Domains. How do I open up those fields?

    Apparently the router is not sending the info to the iphone. How can I make that happen?

  • When I now use the cmd-tab shortcut to go to a different open application it madly scrolls through all the open applications and does not let me select one. Any ideas as to what might be wrong. It doesn't appear to be a sticking key?

    Problem with the cmd-tab keyboard shortcut now cured with the latest software update, so the original problem must have been a software glitch.

  • Open DNS follow-up report

    Interestingly, after a very positive experience by adding the open DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, I found today that every time I tried to open Safari it knocked me offline. So I've now resorted back to the number originally assigned to me.
    What's going on with Safari?

    Jake,
    One Verizon DSL account; one Westell 6100 modem
    Check with Verizon and find out what the max download / upload speeds should be.
    If this is the plan you purchased: http://www22.verizon.com/residential/highspeedinternet/
    *"And we’re constantly looking for ways to make our DSL faster—recently upgrading our Starter plan to 1 Mbps* download and our Turbo plan to 7.1 Mbps."*
    1 Mbps download / 7.1 Mbps is hardly high speed.
    You can check your upload/download speeds here. http://www.speedtest.net/
    To realize faster download and uploads speeds you would need to upgrade your service.
    This is more then just a DNS issue.

  • Open DNS

    My very much up-to-date Safari has been exceptionally neurotic. The day begins at lightning speed, then slows down, then, from time to time, Safari simply knocks out my internet connection.
    I've seen others here suggesting one could add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in their DNS menu. I haven't done it yet, simply when I click "+" to do so, my current numbers disappear. I was hoping the two series of numbers above could be added rather than substituted, so that if there was a problem with the two suggested numbers, I could revert back to the old ones, provided by, I assume, my internet provider Verizon.
    Any thoughts on the above?

    How did you add them?
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    (An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
