the dns error like that means that you have your securities settings set too high and/or
you have some third party program that trys to hide your websurfing by concealing your web address.

In either case the secure sites will not allow sign in unless they can see where you are at period.

you can try this also to see if it will help also:

The page cannot be displayed

Cannot find server or DNS error
