what does it mean when i get this message:

Error Code 11001: Host not found
Background: This error indicates that the gateway or proxy server could not find the IP address of an upstream (Web) server. This is usually due to a DNS-related error.

i am trying to sign on to my business email...never had this problem before

1. Your company's mailserver may have crashed.

If it's not responding, your email client can't connect to it. The error number isn't helpful to anyone but a systems administratior who specialized in that particular email system, but the rest of the message indicates either the mailserver or the network are not responding to requests. If you really need to get on, call your office sysadmin and ask if they're having probs.

2. You should call your company's IT department

The website name you're trying to hit is not an official host name or alias, or it cannot be found in the database(s) being queried. T
