I'm having problems setting up my Zytel router to use OpenDNS.  Any ideas?

I think I have found the location of the settings but OpenDNS is still not active.

  Did you mean Zyxel instead of Zytel?

  You configure the OpenDNS resolver addresses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

  • either under Quick Start as of Pic1,
  • or later normally as of Pic2.

  What problems are you having then?  What happens if you visit http://welcome.opendns.com/ ?

  Sorry for the typo in the router name.  I set the dsn settings per Pic2.jpg.  See attached.

  Does that mean I'm going to the correct servers?

  I blocked Facebook and it is still allowed.

  Thanks for your help.

  Yes, this means that things are set up properly and working properly

  Have you followed the rest of the setup directions that say to flush the DNS cache on your computer and your router (rebooting each usually suffices) as well as flushing your browsers cache? If entries are in one of those caches that don't require a new DNS lookup then OpenDNS won't be used, which means whatever settings you chose with it won't be used.

  If you're still having problems with blocking Facebook after flushing your caches, post the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands here:

     nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

     nslookup facebook.com.

     nslookup www.facebook.com.
