thanks; used the two recommended (and that I've used in the past). Since there is a third row (Tertiary) here, I also tried filling that in with the secondary DNS address, but that doesn't work either.
(can't figure out how to paste my "snip" in here, but attached as a file).
For the IPv6 aspect, I simply went to the Advanced tab and IPv6, and selected "Disable". There isn't anything to tell me it is now on IPv4 but what else is there??.

Primary DNS 208 67 222 222.
Secondary DNS 208 67 220 220
Tertiary DNS .. currently blank, but tried 208 67 220 220 per OpenDNS helpdesk; that didn't work either.
