How to change DNS on Windows 7?

[RustyKnight]

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but I couldn't find anything.

 

I'm trying to change the DNS server to OpenDNS on Windows 7 but every time I reboot it goes back to the original settings.

 

When I was using a wifi connection I had an OpenDNS software that checked the settings on boot but since my wifi connection stopped working and I've gone wired the software stopped working so I uninstalled it, now I can't seem to find it to try downloading it again.

 

So how do I change my DNS settings and make them permanent?

Hi,

 

OpenDNS is not something that I've personally used, but have found these links that may help:

 

How to Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS to Speed Up Web Browsing

 

DNS Addressing - How to Change in Windows 7

 

Use OpenDNS

I followed those instructions but every time I reboot it just switches back to auto.

 

I think I've cured it now. I managed to download the OpenDNS Updater program again.
