I pay for access to the Internet. I am sick of being treated like a subscriber to my ISPs network which happens to include the bits of Internet they care to provide. Since they have a monopoly on broadband in my area they should be forced to behave as a sanctioned monopoly and cut out this bullshiat./rant over

it's not supposed to.. it's so you can see how/if your ISP redirects your invalid requests

half the support people get scared when you use 'fancy' acronyms like DNS and refer you to their supervisor. And we all know how that turns out.........HATE rogers.

Go to Settings, create a Network for your IP. Go to Advanced Settings for this network and uncheck "Enable typo correction (and NX Domain redirection)"If you have a dynamic IP, check "Enable dynamic IP update" and follow these instructions (and get the IP Updater): <a class="user" href="http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_tech/" rel="nofollow">http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_tech/</a>You might also want to uncheck "Enable OpenDNS proxy ".Then wait about 15 min for the settings to propagate across their servers.
