Inappropriate?The most common cause for this error is your computer not being connected to the internet. Check your internet connection and try again.
If you're using your own server, or are using an old Foxmarks version (v1.x), this error could also mean that the server name that you supplied is incorrect. Confirm that the server name you provided in the Foxmarks Settings Dialog is correct. Be sure to have the correct protocol indicated as well.

Inappropriate?Problems with internet connections are manifold and varies from user to user and are beyond the control of most of the users. As with my connection many a times it connects at "Try Again". I think problem like this (and many similar problems) can be solved if there is a "retry" option also in Foxmarks problem dialog box. I mean to say there must be two options namely "ok" and "Retry" -
Inappropriate?for Bring Your Own Server - complex passwords can break the GET call, resulting in 'Error: DNS Unknown host'
