Hi.How do I set a Vigor 2860 to use OPenDNS servers?

I have configured my LAN setting to use the Primary and Secondary servers, and when I test a PC on my LAN, their DNS entries are using the OPenDNS.

But the router config page is still telling me that it is using other DNS settings.

Please see screen shots in attachments.

When I test using OpenDNS test page..I still get the "opps ..you`re not using OpenDNS" page.Thanks

  Before you take further efforts with your router, check if your ISP redirects your DNS queries, preventing you from using 3rd party DNS services like OpenDNS.

  nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com.  208.67.220.220

  Thanks for the advice. I did actually manage to achieve my desired results by blocking all requests on port 53. Changing  DNS to, for example, Google DNS servers on a client LAN PC,  requests are now blocked to any web site.BTW, excellent router for replacing the standard BT router on Infinity...so much tweaking available.
