I have recently started getting a large number of these errors - fairly randomly, I will be surfing the SDMB for example and will open up several threads, most of which open, one of which returns:
Sometimes a refresh is all that’s needed, othertimes, the page will not load, although others continue to load around it. Googling the phrase doesn’t offer much in the way of help, I have rebooted the router and renewed my IP without success.
It’s more than likely something closer to the SD server than to you. If your internet connection requires you to use a proxy server (or you’re using one for some other reason), it could be a problem with that. Otherwise, probably not much you can do about it, AFAIK.
The ISP did respond and gave me specific DNS servers and a proxy server to use, since then I haven’t had a problem, but there was no pattern before, so I’ll wait and see.
Strangely enough, shortly after changing to the specified servers, I had a new problem - the generic “Internet Explorer cannot find the page specified” which I resolved by reverting to automatic DNS and removing the proxy server…
