Just bought a WRT160N. Is it possible to set it up to use DHCP but to input manual DNS server info? I'd like to use OpenDNS rather than my ISP's DNS servers, nd did this on my old Netgera router (which the linksys is replacing). On the setup page, when I select DHCP there ar eno other settings to use. I can input DNS info on Static but I don't have a static IP from my ISP.

Yes, thats true that if you select DHCP then you can not put static DNS . But for what purpose you want to put static DNS. Is there any problem you are facing with your Router

No you can do it...I just didn't see the manual DNS section at the bottom of the page... My plan is to use OpenDNS instead of relying on my ISP's servers. One reason for that is to allow custom control of DNS queries -- I'm thinking about blocking the entire .cn TLD to put a stop to the deluge of Chinese webbug spam on my network and I'm tired of playing whackamole with <randomrubbish>.cn Just blocking '.cn' as a keyword in the router doesn't work as I can't find a way to tie it to the end of URL position (like \.cn$ --- am I missing something?)
