This error means the IP address of the server you are attempting to connect to is unreachable from your computer. It’s almost always due to incorrect network settings on the PC. To check your network settings, do the following:

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me

1. Click Start->Run
2. Type “winipcfg” in the Open: box and then click OK

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP

1. Click Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt
2. At the prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter

Verify that these settings are correct. If they are incorrect, contact your network administrator for assistance in properly configuring your computer.

If these settings are correct, then it is possible that your server may be down, or you may be experiencing some other problem with your network. You should contact your network administrator for assistance in this situation also.
