</div>I can't load the link. (It says my GMail account is offline, even<br>
though I'm writing this email through their web interface. I think you<br>
might have posted a session-specific link.)<br>
<br>
However, if your individual computer is configured to poll Google's<br>
DNS directly, then putting those DNS settings in your router box<br>
should have no effect on your individual computer.<br>
<br>
Still, if you put those settings into your router box, any _other_<br>
computer that attaches to your network will wind up using Google DNS.<br>
<br>
(This can happen one of two ways. Either the router uses DHCP to tell<br>
the individual computers to use Google directly, or the router does<br>
DNS query relay on behalf of the computers on the local network.)<br>

</div>At worst, you might have to reset your router's DNS settings in order<br>
for computers on your local network to resolve DNS queries.<br>
