The 404 error means that the site can't be found. The IP address given by the DNS server does not exist.

Which sites?
many sites, infact most sites now, but only on my mac mini, there's no problem when connecting via ipad???
'Many' sites is of no use to me
Which sites (one will do )
ok, expatwoman.com is one example. Works fine on ipads/iphones/windows laptop. Also if I press the back button, it then sometimes brings up the page?
There is no site at expatwoman.com, perhaps you meant expatwomen.com
Yes?
I get a 404 error on expatwoman.com, but if I connect via the IP address I can connect (79.170.40.224), that may be a problem at their end.
Try going to the IP address and tell me whether you can get to the site. Paste this address . 79.170.40.224 . into Safari's address bar.
no definitely expatwoman.com I have also just tried this on my ipad which loads up fine
Try my suggestion please.
expatwomen is not the website I want...it's definitely expatwoman.com
I also get this error message when I use a vpn to watch UK TV programmes. As soon as I get to the first commercial break in the programme, the message pops up and I can't watch anymore?? This happens on itv.com when using the itvplayer to watch programmes.
Can you please read my post and try my suggestion, we have already covered the website!
If you are not interested please tell me now and I'll stop checking this thread.
Hi, sorry I didn't see the entire message initially. Ok I've tried the IP address and nothing happens? I am very anxious to sort out this reoccuring problem as it's causing me a great deal of stress and really appreciate any help you can offer!!
How exactly did you 'try the address'
And what exactly does 'nothing' consist of?
I pasted the 'numbers' you suggested into the address bar, hit enter and waited for something to load. Nothing loaded and I was just looking at a white screen
Go to System Preferences>Network>How you are connected (wifi or ethernet)>Advanced>DNS. What DNS server(s) are listed?
Try use Google's servers, 8.8.8.8
Ah your faster than me.
and if 8.8.8.8 doesn't fix it try 208.67.222.222
