Why can't I log into Windows Home Server When using Open DNS?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

OpenDNS is taking over the resolution of host names to IP addresses.

OpenDNS has no way of "seeing" your local network naming, as it is private, an you are not publishing your own DNS to the public.

Go to your management at:
https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/

Look for "Manage Typo Exceptions" or similar.

You can also avoid DNS lookups by placing the server name and address in your localhost file, which is used before DNS servers.

Set your primary DNS to your local DNS server. Use OpenDNS as secondary.

Most people do not run a DNS server on their home network. I'm a low-level geek with a handful of hardware and two internet connections. I don't have my own DNS. (I do run WHS on the LAN for backup, serving videos to TiVo, sharing files, etc.).

Also, a good implementation of OpenDNS would forward all port 53 traffic to their servers for resolution. Allowing a local DNS server would allow a rogue to be setup on an office or school LAN.
