Answer 2

Don't do that dude! Its screaming Scam!

Answer 3

DNS is the "domain name service" and doesn't really do much for speeding up your internet connection. Usually the number assigned by your isp is their DNS and should be the one you use, you can change it but sometimes that'll cause more problems than its worth. If you are concerned with your speed try running a few speed tests on your pc...one good one is the 2wire test http://www.2wire.com/bandwidth/initialmeter.php

Answer 4

Keep the numbers assigned to your LAN.



Talk with your Network Administrator.



If you change it, assuming you can, you will probably break your access to the Inet!

Answer 5

your ISP should already provide a DNS server, you dont need to connect to one.

Answer 6

Keep the DNS your ISP has given you. Using others can compromise the security of your PC.

Answer 7

A DNS "number" that will speed up your internet connection? Give us the link so we can check it out.

DNS translates names into IP numbers. That's it. If a DNS server doesn't have the answer, it queries the next DNS server in line, up the the "root" DNS servers. This takes place in fractions of a second. There are lots of ways to boost DNS performance by the way you set your cache, forwarders, etc. But any ISP worth the name will already have DNS optimized. I'd like to see the link, but I'd give it a 99% chance you're being scammed.



(By the way, guess what happens if you have them host your DNS, and they are unscrupulous? Go to "Yahoo", and they router you to a site they own, but that "looks" like Yahoo; or E-bay, or wherever. You type in a name, THEY route you to the IP address, which may or may not be the real site you're looking for. Log into the fake site with your username and password, and now they own your account. Use a credit card on their fake site, and they have your number. Not to mention... well... I won't mention the rest.)
