@Eldad: I am not able to replicate your issue. Can you send me a screenshot? And I don't have a mailing list yet, but you can subscribe to my RSS feed or mobile SMS feed!

Thanks Pras and best of luck with your dream job!
Minor bug(?) – after a change the “DNS changed” window appears not once but 2 or 3 consecutive times.

Please add me to your email list if you have one.

@Eldad: Thanks for the suggestion Eldad. The next version of the DNS Helper will implement that feature. But right now, I have just landed my dream job and am really pressed for time. So do keep a watch on this space for an updated version, if not right away, a few weeks from now. @adi: I had recently started learning .NET and just wanted to try it out. Right now, I don't have the resources nor the inclination to replicate this functionality in C. So sorry.

Your utility will require Administrator login to work, isn’t it?
How about normal user login to switch the DNS servers?

It seems, the utility need not use .NET or other resource hungry toolkits. Why not write in simple ‘C’ and Windows API?

Hello dear Pras, thanks very much for DNS Helper, works great!
Suggestion: Would be of great help if the user could add a pair or a few pairs of DNS addresses of his/her own choice to the CHOICE list, so they can be switched by “Quick switch” from the tray icon.
I like to use FoolDNS (87.118.111.215 and 81.174.67.134) because they filter out ads,
I am wondering if there is a way to add this pair of addresses or replace one of the existing ones?
Using WinXP-PRO-SP3

Thanks again, W/Best regards,
Eldad

@Lester: Well I tested it on my Windows 7 machine without a hitch, Lester. Can you provide me with more details about the error you are getting?
