after making these reg changes and performing a soft reset, all of the changes were in a separate/different folder. for example:
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server was under : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\5.0

any ideas/suggestions??
Thanks, Jim.

We are first going to copy the original HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file from \device\windows to a safe place for future use if ever needed. If you ever have trouble just copy the original back to \device\windows and soft reset or just execute it from wherever you saved it.

Next we are going to take a small inert file on our device and rename it to HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and then move it to the \device\windows folder on our touch and confirm overwrite (use Resco or similar to overwrite) so the real HTC_cm_guardian won't start.

Soft reset


Now for the actual settings change to Speed up browsing with OpenDNS:

Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Manage existing connections

Select SprintPCS, then Edit...

Hit Next and Next again, then click Advanced...

Under Servers tab select Use specific server address

Enter the following:

DNS: 208.67.222.222

Alt DNS: 208.67.220.220

Hit OK then Finish

Soft reset

When you first reconnect to the internet it will ask you for name\pass......well just leave the name and pass blank and check the box to remember.

I have included a "fake" HTC_CM_Guardian file to put on your phone in the windows file, it's just the PPST.dll file from Getspc renamed.

I did all the above steps, dummy file overwite (verified by file size), change the server settings, on both sprintpcs and phone as modem, soft reset twice for each change, verified the opendns server entries are still there, etc..... Still get the above msg when visiting that link.

weird...its like Sprint is overiding the dns entries on the touch at the network end.

I just tried it with my phone too and it also gave me the "Oops..." page. A little searching on Google brought me to these threads: here and here.

In short, it seems like no one has figured out how to override the Sprint DNS settings.

Did this hack actually do anything? I personally could not perceive much of a difference, but apparently several others on this board have.
