this particular error message as we are using AT Uversen not DSL. Also
when this message is showing I can ping the internet with any trouble.
Further when I log into Ebay I can't seem to duplicate the problem, nor
do any of the URL's that I have on Speed-dial have the same problem.

Finally, She has not encountered the problem when using Firefox on my
Window 10 Laptop.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Yes, I definitely do have Uverse, not DSL.  I had DSL from 2003 until 
2014, or so, when it got too expensive and then switched to Uverse.  In 
fact one of the AT repair men told me that I probably wouldn't be able 
to get DSL back, even if I wanted to.  According to him they were 
planning to phase out DSL service.

Can you verify which type of AT Uverse you have? They have renamed their 3 
meg or so DSL as Uverse, as well as their fiber 30 meg or more service.
