To do this first try the 2 links below if these don’t work follow the 3rd link to find out the IP address of your router.

http://router.spiders-design.co.uk

http://router2.spiders-design.co.uk

 

http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm

 

You then need to find out how to change the DNS servers (have a look around – should be in broadband settings or equivalent) if you can’t find it then google change dns dervers followed by the make and model of your router.

 

To change these settings you usually have to login to your router. To find out your routers default password google router make and model followed by default password.

 

Then change primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and the secondary to 8.8.4.4 this will speed up your day to day browsing but not downloads. For information as to why this speeds it up read on.

 

 

Every time your browser visits a new site google.com or yahoo.com it has to Ping a DNS server to find out the physical IP address of the server that the site is being hosted on by using google’s DNS servers you speed up this service (because google is awesomely quick)

this wouldn’t however speed up downloads as the ping has to be done only once per site.

There are times it’s convenient when having one window always stay on top of any otherwindows on your windows desktop, especially on a dual monitor setup. And that’s exactly whyPowerMenu comes in play.

It’s a small free utility that only does one thing, adding a few extra menu options in addition to the standard “Close”, “Maximize”, etc options. Besides Always on Top, it also offersTransparency and Minimize to Tray.

The tool was developed originally for Windows 2000, but works quite well in all other versions, including Windows 7. However, because of the new task bar in Windows 7 that doesn’t have Window options, the only way to make it work is to use the top frame of the Window. Just right-click and pick one of the three extra options.

And here is what the Live Writer looks like when the Transparency was set to 40%, with the big green leaf as the wallpaper at the background.

That’s it, and enjoy.
