Open DNS

DHave you encountered some sites not opening in your broadband although the connection works fine with other sites also sometimes your connection refuses to work even though signal is coming. Mostly MTNL Triband & BSNL faces this problem. This because of the fact that their DNS Servers are facing downtime. DNS is used to convert the URL entered by you into the machine understandable form. Once the site address is resolved the work DNS is over. But due to downtime DNS is not able to resolve the address due to which your browser is not able to open the website even when the Internet connection is working. To solve this issue there is a simple solution of using a third-party DNS server. The best third party DNS is OpenDNS it is free service anyone can use their DNS with any Internet connection. Its also free. To use OpenDNS you do not need to install any software all you need is just open your Internet Properties from My Network Places on desktop Then open Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

INTERNET EXPLORER 8 ( iE8) Review

I've been playing with IE8 beta 1, and I've got some thoughts ... In terms of user visible HTML rendering features, I think IE 8 beta 1 is possibly the biggest release of IE in nearly 11 years since April 1997 when IE 4.0 alpha 1 was released. The history shows mostly bug fixes, and chrome changes since then. Maybe transparent PNG or Bidi text are bigger than Activities? It looks like that's going to be the feature that most people talk about, so I'm going to talk about some of the other stuff. There are 3 big things I'm interested in, and a few smaller features: 6 Connection Limit I've been testing the new 6 connection limit. It works perfectly in my testing, Without any cookie or window.name hacks, DWR can do reverse ajax using comet to more than 2 browser windows: DOM Storage IE is way behind everyone else in implementing HTML5 features. So this is catching up to everyone else. It will be interesting to hear from the Dojo guys on this. // sessionSt
