Error Message:

Non-recoverable error.

Explanation:

Windows Sockets specification notes the Domain Name System (DNS) errors "FORMERR," "REFUSED," and "NOTIMP." For protocols and services resolution, it means the respective database was not located or an application process has stopped running.

User Action:

Stop and start all Winsock applications that might have caused this error, such as the FTP, Gopher, and Web services. User suggestions: Check that you have a name server(s) and/or host table configured. If you are using a name server, use ping to check that the server host(s) are available. Check that the name resolution server application is running by trying to resolve another hostname you know should work. Developer suggestions: For protocols and services, consider using a hard-coded value for the protocol number or service port number in case your resolution attempt fails.
