Speed up Your Internet! Change your DNS (Any PPC or Home PC)

[Malatesta]

UPDATE: In addition to this trick, go ahead and try THIS MORE ADVANCED Reg Trick (Increase "Maximum number of concurrent connections") to further maximize your Web surfing on any PPC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a neat little trick. Basically it improves the speed at which the DNS of the webpage you are seeking is retrieved. It does NOT increase bandwidth speed, just DNS lookup. End result is a faster browsing experience since your pages are "found faster".

- From the Start Menu, select 'Settings', then select the 'Connections' tab
- Select the 'Connections' option
- Select 'Manage Existing Connections' option
- Highlight your main Internet connection, and click edit (Power Vision)
- Click 'Edit'
- Click 'Next'
- Click 'Next' (do not touch these settings!)
- Click 'Advanced', do not touch your User Name/Password

Now select 'Servers' Tab

- Use specfic server address

Enter in:

DNS: 208.67.222.222

Alt DNS: 208.67.220.220

(alternatives

DNS: 4.2.2.1
Alt DNS: 4.2.2.2

- 'OK'
- 'Finish'
- 'OK'

You should see your data connection restart. I like to soft-reset after this, JIK.

Enjoy faster browsing!
