Hi,
When you are logged on to another isp, when you start a new session, some results are same. But it differed from the first findings. What i did to save is , pr scrn by expanding the + marks in the link.
I think that the server is redirected to some domain.error com, and it list as a commercial adware peeking site. I enclose the findings without the access points.
One of the solution given is to change the dns server to 8888 and 8844. When i opt auto detect the internet access, then i do not have the option. Ok
Or is it possible, that i use the following and entering the above 3 with my previous numbers and the last two dns and alte dns as 88888844. What this stand for , i do not know.
I remember Shane saying something about change to Google dns server in some other posts. Is that belong to google?Pl remove those findings , which is not decipherable
HI, boggins, what about the query on bold lines.

Boggin:
To change the DNS server settings in your computer which will override the router's ISP DNS settings - go Start - type ncpa.cpl and press enter.
Right click on the adapter you are using and select Properties.
Click on (TCP/IPv4) then on Properties then click on the lower radio button for Use the following DNS server addresses.
8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 are Googles primary and secondary DNS server addresses, but you can also use OpenDNS which are -
208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220
I use these and have changed them so the primary is 220.220 as Netalyzr found it to be fractionally quicker than 222.222 and also faster than Google's.
Below is what mine look like using OpenDNS and after changing them, check the box for Validate settings upon exit - OK - Close and that will invoke the trouble shooter which should report no problems found.
After changing the settings I run a cmd prompt as an admin and enter -
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
shutdown /r /t 00
EDIT - If you use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 you will have each digit of 8 in the upper row of boxes and 8 8 4 4 in the lower row.

Hi, As in the post, i changed and tested . No problem in accessing . But the router settings in the router form is different, which is shown as vulnerability. It is said NAT vulnerability in configuration. I will again check tomorrow and report, if any improvement. I will give the results after analysing myself . Thanks .
