When I am on the internet and just looking at regular sites like yahoo or local news sites using IE I get strange error messages like:

"Sorry, we couldn't find http://%24pixelhost/serve/fb/pdc%3FuatFilter%3Dtrue"

I get different messages but it always starts Sorry, we couldn't find http://......

The page is mostly loaded then I get the message and a list of suggested sites. Its not always pixelhost but this is the most recent error I recieved. It almost seems to be random because I can not make it happen but it happens enough to be annoying.

Any suggestions would be great.

This looks like DNS redirection.

The concept is whenever a webserver reports Error 404 (page not found), many ISPs
will intercept the Error 404 and reproduce what they think is a user friendly help reply
which clearly it AINT!

Suggest you change the DNS settings in your router or manually on the PC itself
to 8.8.8.8 as the first DNS entry - - this is the google DNS
and a request for http://www.googleme.com/ will reply

Code:

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.googleme.com

For page content like scripts and graphics, the missing webresource is just ignored

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
