First check yourIP address
Start > Run > type in: cmd > type: ipconfig
Several lines of info will display including an IP and Default Gateway
If you have 0.0.0.0 or an address that starts with "169", you are not connected to the internet. Check your cabling.
Listed below the IP address is a default gateway try pinging the gateway address (Say the address us 192,168.0.1)
Start > Run > type in: cmd > type: ping 192.168.0.1 (using the real address of course)
You should get a reply from the gateway. If the request times out, you are not connected to the modem or router. Try rerunning the connection wizard
Right click My Network Places > Properties > Set up a Home or Small Office Network
If you get a reply from your ping, then you have something in yur firewall settings that is blocking the Internet. Try turning our firewall off temporarily and set if you can connect. If so you need help to reconfigure the firewall.
If none of that works, it is going to be beyond what I can guess without more detail on the setup.
One more thing to try: Get a copy of Firefox installed and see if you can connect with it.

this error apears when the browser can't reach the specified webserver.that is:
if it afects all web sites then your internet conection is down.
if it only does that on specific sites that you are certain they exist the answer is a restriction along the way , maybe the proxy server you connect through is filtering those sites or words containing them or the gateway restricts acces to those adresses.
if it's only one page...maybe you don't have it's corect name
hope this helps

probably the server that hosts site you requested is down or too busy. maybe even the site you were looking for was removed or changed the url. i dunno there are many reasons. which site were you looking for??
