Google recently announced its free Public DNS resolution service. Google assures you that by using Google Public DNS your web-surfing experience will be much more faster and reliable.Just like OpenDNS, Google DNS can be easily setup on Windows based computer (XP, Vista and 7).

Step 2: Select Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections.

Step 3 : Select the Local Area Connection then click on Properties.

Step 4: Under the Networking tab click on the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties

step 5 : Now under the option DNS Server address you can see your default DNS address , copy them, and then change the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS server address and Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Open your command prompt and clear your DNS cache using the command ipconfig /flushdns. Then do a nslookup for any web address and you should see 1e100.net with 8.8.8.8 as the IP address for the DNS resolver.
