DHCP Must Be Enabled On Individual Computers

In order for your individual computers to "grab" the OpenDNS servers from your router you must make sure that DHCP is enabled. Check your network configuration settings and verify that DHCP is enabled to obtain the IP address automatically for each computer on your network. This will ensure that each computer on your network uses the OpenDNS servers for DNS resolution as well as the network preferences you have assigned to the network in your account.
