Posted in Tips, Windows XP - 19 July 2009 - No comment

Having a netbook / laptop / notebook is a must when I continue my study. Make presentation, collect data from library, fetch journal and dig information from internet are daily activity during my study.

One of problem I encounter is DNS problem, since my laptop get IP and DNS automatically from provider.  OpenDNS help me alot in resolving the issue, their service uptime is fantastic.

My classroom friend asking me how to enter dns setting for his asus netbook and I promise to write that in a post. Here the steps :

1. Watch the tray, see icon of wireless connectivity.
