As suggested on this site, to keep the filtering working all the time, I should use a computer that is always available. So I pulled out my old PC with Windows XP. Everything seems to work okay until the IP Updater asks me to sign in, I keep getting the error that there was a problem verifying my user name and password. I am using the right one because I can go to the OpenDNS website and log in with the same one. How can I fix this?

  It's case-sensitive, so make sure you type it in exactly as you did when you signed up. Also, best to stick with alphanumeric characters, or you might be using HTTP reserved or unsafe characters that will not work. If you have checked "Send DNS-O-Matic updates", clear this.

  I'm doing all that already. I thought it might be the app does not work with XP.

  It does work with XP. To see more details, look into the "%appdata%\OpenDNS Updater" folder, files log.txt and ipupdateslog.txt. Open them with Wordpad, not with Notepad.
