DNS is the service that translates 'human' addresses like into 'computer' IP addresses like 74. 125. 67. 100. DNS errors occur when the server cannot find the translation.

It's an error with the Domain Name Server that your computer connects to in order to decode a URL into something it can understand.

DNS stands for domain name server, which are computers that route traffic to other computers on the Internet. Errors happen when a computer cannot be found by the DNS.

Domain Name Service is responsible for matching a name to an IP address (74. 125. 53. 104). An error means can not connect to the DNS server.

I had NO idea either when it happened to me. It is when your Play Station won't connect to the internet.
