Socket Error #11004

[MKAIF]

I am trying to connect my computer with the internet through my home networked Dlink router and Dlink Modem. I tried to check the connection and everything went correct. But when I try to surf anything, I am getting the error message as "Cannot connect Socket Error #11004". What does this means? How can I fix this error message?

This error occurs if there is the problem of valid name, no data record of requested type. In other words, the requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record—indicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.

Winsock Errors are Microsoft Windows Sockets (TCP) errors. This Winsock error implies you have some type of DNS issue within the network environment. This can also be the problem of your firewall settings (if any) which is blocking the connections. Try to use the defaults or allow the connections to certain sites like google and see if you can browse the internet.
