I was told to get Obtain DNS.

I'm having trouble viewing certain websites. Is there a way to get a different IP address that is not Open DNS?

Simply remove the OpenDNS entries that you set. Take a look at this article.

Did your ISP give you DNS addresses or do you get them automatically?

I doubt OpenDNS is the cause. But as Van stated above, you can always go back to your ISP supplied DNS entries or you can try the Google Public DNS addresses instead.
