there is no password... its encrypting the field so you cant tell how long a specific password is...
Test these dns with your second connection.. 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 and when your in the screen to select the connections, hold click on your new connection and tell it to be "default" and soft reset and try again... |

this time, success!!! i then went back and tried the OpenDns settings again....and they worked too!! so don't know if it was a problem on Sprint's side or what, but the alternative DNS settings are working for me again |

How do you guys get the new settings to stick? Do I have to make a new connection with the same settings, just a DNS addresses? I remember seeing on this site that you're supposed to go into Windows/Startup and delete HTC_Guardian.exe but I have an HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk. Can I erase the .lnk file or what do I do. I really wanna try these settings, thanks!
**EDIT** I made a new connection but I honestly don't notice a difference. Last edited by wILLk0r3 818; 10-10-2007 at 05:32 PM. |

its not a speed difference, just a latency difference... it enhances the time it takes to "connect" to a page, not the time it takes to load it... That why most people dont get...

Yeah I understand that's what it does, and I don't really notice a difference. Then again, I'm in class and I don't have good service in here PLUS I don't really have a chance to play around with it. I'm out in 30 mins then I get to go home for a couple hours before my next class and I'll have a good chance to play with it then. =)

Yeah, changing your DNS servers isn't going to magically make your internet faster in terms of download/upload speed. So its very likely that poor coverage could be a big part of the problem. Like I had said before in the other post about this, if you want to be sure its DNS, just punch in the numeric address of the site instead of the friendly text name and if the page loads quickly you know what to do.
Also, keep in mind that the server addy you may be using could be getting swamped now too. Lots of people use those OpenDNS servers, because their provider based ones suck. Being that lots of Sprint users are having these issues now, there are probably heavier loads on them than normal... there are other server addys to try, but I don't have them in front of me right now... |
