Hello.
Just installed Slimjet, really like it as I still use XP/3 (Donated $25)
I have Slimjet 10.0.13.0 (Chrome 50.0.2661.75) on XP/3
When I start Slimjet, Zone Alarm asks if I want to allow a DNS (google)
other than the ISP DNS setup in my LinkSys WRT160Nv3 router.
If I refuse, Slimjet will not connect to the internet.
I currently use Opera36 & Opera12.18 (for older sites rejected by Chrome)
They both use my router DNS by default.
QUESTION: How can I change Slimjet to stop forcing the use of google DNS
and use the DNS setup in my router?
Also, I would prefer to disconnect any google services in slimjet,
or at least select which ones to use.
Google DNS (how to change?)

Re: Google DNS (how to change?)
Go to Control Panel>Network Connections and select your local network. Click Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). At the Internet Protocol window, select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the desired DNS server(s) in the space(s) provided.

Will do, thanks.
Re: Google DNS (how to change?)
Sorry, that did not do it.
Slimjet (only) is still asking zonealarm for permission for a google dns.
either 208.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx etc or a 172.xxx.xxx.xx (although it may
change to others, all are google DNS's by reverse lookup.
My network connection-> DNS server property is already setup for
my router gateway 192.168.1.1 and my primary DNS server addr.
It appears that this is originating inside Slimjet (?)

Re: Google DNS (how to change?)
Actually i think it's the prefetch that uses google's DNS.
OP,go to your Settings->Advanced Settings and see if any of the following are enabled.If they are,disable them and see if it fixes the problem:
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Not sure for those two,but if the above don't do the trick disabled them as well:
