As someone who fought with this same problem a few weeks ago, I was
wondering if someone could explain to me the logic behind that
seemingly-bizzare error message.  To the uneducated (read: me  ;-)  it
looks like it's saying "404" (Page not found) *and* "Operating timed
out" (couldn't contact the site/host not responding).  It seems to me
that those two should be mutually exclusive anyway...or do I have
things "sdrawkcab yletelpmoc" ?


Thanks,
