Hi Fred,

The 404 error is from the server telling you it doesn't have the file 
you requested. i.e. "File not found". It is one of the standard HTTP 
error codes the server will send back to your browser when it has a 
problem. If the server is down, the browser will usually tell you the 
server took too long to respond so the browser gave up. The "Server not 
found" error means the server name isn't in the DNS lookup table.

HTH,
