'Non authoritative answer' is normal. It just means that the query was answered by a DNS server that doesn't own the domain you queried. The answer would be considered authoritative if you queried the responsible name server yourself.

Check if that machine is behind a proxy blocking external sites...or if an internal firewall or other device blocks http/https traffic to the outside.

What happens when you ping an external website? It works, times out, or can't perform DNS lookup?

Try this...

ping google.com
(do you get 4 replies?)
ping 74.125.237.43
(do you get 4 replies?)

telnet google.com 80
(do you get something like this after hitting enter a few times -
HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

<a href=//www.google.com/><img src=//www.google.com/images/errors/logo_sm.gif alt=Google></a>
<p>
<b>400.</b> <ins>ThatÔÇÖs an error.</ins>
<p>Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. <ins>ThatÔÇÖs all we know.</ins>

Or do you get some kind of error?

Then try this

telnet 74.125.237.43 80
and what happens?

If you can telnet/ping IPs but not DNS names, you have an issue with DNS. If you can't do either, you have something blocking your communication outbound (Proxy/firewall).

Hope that helps!

OpenDNS is just a DNS resolver which is open and free to use by anyone.

Traditionally you would typically have used DNS resolvers that were provided/operated by your ISP (if you didn't know any better) and sometimes these servers can be a little slow / underpowered and therefore give you a slower browsing experience.

Have a read through this: http://www.opendns.com/business-solutio ... /benefits/
