Server does not have a DNS entry

DNS stands for the Domain Name System that governs how a computer looks up a server name so that it can connect to a web site.

If the problem is intermittent, this may be the reason:

• The URL is wrong. Check for spelling, punctuation, and capitalization errors, then try again.
• Your network is down. Try the URL again. If it still does not work, contact your network administrator.
• The network is busy. Try connecting during less busy hours.
• The web server that you are trying to connect to is down or not working correctly. Contact the server administrator.

If the problem is constant, this may be the reason:

• The dial-up connection is not set up correctly or the computer has not dialed in. Check the connection between your modem, dialer software, and service provider.
• The TCP/IP networking software is not set up correctly. Ask your network administrator for the correct configuration.
• You are behind a firewall that doesn't allow you to connect to some web servers. Check with your network administrator.

If the problem occurs in mail or newsgroups:

• The names of your mail and newsgroup servers in your Netscape Preferences might be incorrect. Ask your network administrator or service provider for the correct server names.

The remote host reset your connection. Clicking Reload usually solves the problem.

This error indicates a problem with the web page. Contact the webmaster of the page.

Check the URL for spelling, punctuation, and capitalization errors and try again. If the error still occurs, the web server that you are trying to connect to is down or not working correctly. Try again later or contact the server's administrator.
