Associate Editor George Starcher covers part one of a three part series on how to configure and use OpenDNS on our mac.

Victor from the Typical Mac User podcast and I have a discussion that starts with OpenDNS. We both had it setup in our Apple Airport Extreme N routers. Yet OpenDNS doesn t work. We talk about why, what the options are. Since we were on DNS we move onto DynDNS and Lighthouse. Lighthouse is an application that lets you easily open ports on your router via UPnP aka Dynamic Port Forwarding.

Sponsored by listeners like you! I m BAAACK!  A week in Vegas and I was GLAD to be back home!  Had a great time giving my presentations to our dealers and I was treated to a special geek out day in the middle of the week.  My geek out day was spent over at the Mandalay Bay attending the Microsoft Connections event.  LOTS of good information that I ll be covering over time here on the podcast. Received a couple of e-mails from listeners David and Bjorn who were fortunate enough to attend LOPSA s SysAdmin Days down in Phoenix they provide us with some good feedback on the event makes me wish even more that I was able to attend.  Perhaps next time. And finally, I get a little bit of a rant off my chest from a ComputerWorld article that suggests SysAdmins mostly come from a bad seed and have little to no ethics.  Yes   THIS one got under my skin!
