DNS is not working for me....Help please.

[nikya]

I receive the OOPS! message.  And when I enter nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. in cmd prompt this is what I see.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\user1>nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Server: UnKnown
Address: ::208.67.222.222

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to UnKnown timed-out

What am I doing wrong?

You're most likely doing nothing wrong.  It seems your ISP or something else (e.g. your router) is preventing you from using 3rd party DNS services.  Post also the complete outputs of these diagnostic commands:

   nslookup -timeout=12 -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

   nslookup -timeout=12 whoami.akamai.net.

   nslookup -timeout=12 -type=txt -class=chaos hostname.bind.

   nslookup -timeout=12 -type=txt -class=chaos version.bind.

Just seeing:   Address: ::208.67.222.222

This is an IPv6 address.  And even more, it is most likely not a DNS resolver address, i.e. DNS queries are not being answered there.  Disable IPv6 connectivity in this network interface, review the configuration of the OpenDNS resolver addresses, and try again.  It may work then.  If not, post the other diagnostics.
