Do any of you bright sparks know why I get the following the last two? weeks:

Bad Gateway
The following error occurred:

Code: 
 The IP address was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

It does not happen all the time - just when I do not have time to sit with a problem!
Like just now: Forget about doing a search here!
Battled about 3 times reloading the page to start a new thread!

I done no new installs or changes to my system...

Some info:

FORGET ABOUT DOING A "PREVIEW POST"! - If you do not read this post know I could not post because of BAD GATEWAY!:p

Do an ipconfig /all and post the 2 DNS servers you're getting.

Also on the c:\> prompt, type in 'nslookup'p and enter. Now type in the name of the site you're trying to resolve.First test with something like 'www.google.com'.

You should get the IP of the site back. Now try with the site that gave you problems.

What do you get?

Here is one:
If you enter www.netcraft.com, it redirects to www.news.netcraft.com and went that-a- "Bad Gateway" 3 times before loading the page correctly?
I did the nslookup right after the first "Bad Gateway":


C:\>nslookup
Default Server: dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za
Address: 196.207.32.69

> www.google.com
Server: dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za
Address: 196.207.32.69

Aliases: www.google.com

> www.news.netcraft.com
Server: dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za
Address: 196.207.32.69

*** dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za can't find www.news.netcraft.com: Non-existent domain

Till ANOTHER Bad Gateways are here again ...... :rolleyes:

C:\>nslookup
Default Server: dns2-vop.3g.vodacom.co.za
Address: 196.207.32.69
