How to change DNS server when using a router?

If the COMODO firewall is just used on your machine, you can change your machines DNS settings without changing the routers dns... its under advanced settings in the TCP/IP section of your network adapter. Your computer has a setting for the DNS to use. Running off a router it is usually set to the routers IP, but it does not have to be.

Linux sets the DNS in the resolv.conf file on your local machine as well.
