Wilhelmus Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Check for malware. Check firewall settings for iexplorer.exe Do you get DNS from your ISP? Start->Run: cmd ipconfig /all Look for dns address(es). Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/447574-dns-error/#findComment-587366319 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) It looks like some phishing site is doing it (or malware?). DNS problems would occur before the download starts, not after. Even if it were a DNS problem, it wouldn't show in that dialog (it would mention "Unable to resolve...") Check your HOSTS for file or run "ping DNS" and see what is it is going to EDIT: The download dialog says 101%, now if thats not a sign you have major problems, I don't know what is :o Edited April 3, 2006 by zivan56 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/447574-dns-error/#findComment-587378078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
