Assuming you are trying to change for the WiFi connection, and the router does not allow you to change the default DNS (e.g., ATT Uverse service routers), you must assign it a static IP first.

Select Wireless Options, then WiFi Options on the Blackberry, select the profile for the network for which you want to change, Menu-> edit, then add your static IP information and Open DNS information.

This also changed the DNS for my 3G service (ATT Bold), though I am clueless why. (Select Mobile Network Options, Menu ->Tools, Menu->DNS Lookup to see what 3G is using)

The instructions given above for the blackberry are specifically for using it as a tethered modem to a Windows PC.

A big thing that should be noted first, then, is that you would need to create the DUN connection first so you can use these instructions to go back and edit that DUN with the new DNS server settings.

With Cingular and T-Mobile, the instructions are fairly straight forward and can be found easily on a google search.

Verizon is going to charge for this feature to be added.

I tried the instructions above without success. They seem to be for something that has windows mobile as a Blackberry doesn’t have a start button or a mouse to do a “right click.”

I can help you test instructions. Just email me. I have the Blackberry 8700G from T-Mobile.
