Yep, I get a white screen dns error quite a bit. I have to go back, refresh, then it's usually okay. It does it more when actually posting I've noticed.
I figure it is the reason for many of the double posts.

YEP, I also do encounter errors, it's usually mshtml.dll error.

Odd....

Hmmm.....Z....You think this is IE related or maybe firewall? Seems you and I both see similar errors.
Anybody else? More clues please.

I have 2 firewalls, one with Norton Internet Security set to High, and the other is a Windows firewall, set to ON.

Other than my dial-up being slow, (I'm changing to high speed/cable when we move in a couple weeks...

...) I haven't had problems with TN. Once every few weeks it says "the page is unavailable," like just a few minutes ago, but it's rare when that happens, and is usually back up within a few minutes.

Funny that it happened right after I posted about having no problems with it...

Once TN was gone for a night and part of one day about a month (?) ago.....

...yikes!!

Yea, there was some downtime awhile back...normal, although undesirable.
I was just thinking maybe this was a firewall's firmware situation or such, I'm behind cisco/ linksys at home and work.
I'm just looking for clues, before crying wolf

PS...I also am now on SP2 in both places...but with IE firewall off.

actually my IE has problem only with my win xp (and the system that I am using so I am not sure if it's my system or the site, most likely it's my system).

I've got a hardware firewall in my router, Netgear. I'm connected wirelessly, no Windows 2003 Enterprise Server firewalls or other software firewalls are even installed.
Just get the occasional server not found or something (error 500, if i'm not mistaken).

Like Ham says "it's nothing that disturbs me" but....since it was posted, it seemed worth discussion/investigation.

I guess it is an IE prob then like TH said, and not any hardware. I say this cause of the ppl with firefox aren't seeing it.

Yeah, I think you're right. It must be IE by the sounds of it. Definitely nothing wrong with the TN site itself, I'm pretty sure of that.

I think it's partially IE's problem. But I have notice that the site automatically refresh itself and usually when that happens ie will cause error. Wonder maybe it's somehow related.

I get dns errors and the odd slow page load too, also mostly while posting
