[QUOTE="Feisty411, post: 1420353, member: 259222"] My last post has to be looked at by the mods so it's not on here yet, but I do have an update. I was advised to go into Utilities and Terminal to input the command "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf." Then to enter my Admin password. It then comes up with my servers and I'm able to delete the bogus ones. Then press Control - x. You're asked if you want to save your changes and you press y and then restart your Mac. It all worked up until I pressed y. I wasn't able to exit Terminal after that as it seemed to want me to write the file name. It said: "File Name to Write: /etc/resolv.conf." If I try to close and exit it tells me that it will terminate the "processes working inside, login, bash, nano." So I end up having to 'terminate' or cancel the whole process. I also sometimes get the added line: "cpc10-dals18-20-cust331:~" in Terminal. I don't want to write anything for the file name, (if that's what it's asking me for) in case I get it wrong and mess it up. Does anyone know what to do when you get to this point? Because it seems as this will work and help me to delete the bogus DNS servers from my machine if I can just get past this bit. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
