Anyone else note that if you enter a single word search it’s still redirected to open DNS? So “airway” returns open DNS search result but “jet airway” returns Google results. One workaround is to append single word searches with a “+”.  So, “airway+” or “+airway” returns Google results.  I know it’s not a perfect workaround having to remember to add a plus sign to your search query, but hey it’s a small price to pay for the speed of open DNS and the power of Google in the Firefox awesome bar.

Well it seems for me the fix was to :

2. Click on Device Manager .
3. In the right pain select Network Devices.
4. Right click on Dell wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card.
5. Select Properties.
6. The Properties dialog box should appear.
7. Click on the Advanced tab.
8. Select  AP Compatibility Mode and change value to Broader Compatibility
9. Select IBSS Mode and change value to 802.11 a/b/g/n Auto

That’s what a failing hard drive looks like when scanned with the windows CHKDSK utility.
