DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG error

I've had this myself over the last few days (first time I've seen this as well).

Restarting the router normally resolves the issue so I would try that as well.

Another thing you can try is opening a command prompt (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt). Type in "ipconfig /release" then enter, then type "ipconfig /flushdns" then enter and then "ipconfig /renew" and enter.

Let me know if the problem still occurs after trying this.

Kind regards.
