The computer must be running a dns server on port 53.

How did you block incoming port 53 on the firewall?

What version of Windows is it? Check computer management > services and see if there is a service called DNS server running, or a name to that effect. If not then its possibly malware, perform a check with Spybot-S&D, and also whatever virus scanner you use, if you have one.

Try disabling DNS client and see what happens. It doesn't affect lookups for me on any browser. Enable it again if disabling causes any problem.

This utility will show you what process is listening on port 53.
Just download it and run it http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb89...

Not if TBB's DNS Checker reports he has an open DNS resolver running.
