           Summary: error uknown host: offer really friendly help to handle
                    it
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

STORY:
=====
Let's say you typed:
http://fizyka.umk.pl/
(man, it took me long to find a good example :-) )

Konqueror says:
"
An error occurred while loading http://fizyka.umk.pl/:
Unknown host fizyka.umk.pl
"

It is ok for me to manually edit address again, but let look closer what could be done here.

Opera answer:
"
You tried to access the address http://fizyka.umk.pl/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working.
Check that the setup of any Internet security software is correct and does not interfere with ordinary Web browsing.
If you are behind a firewall on a Local Area Network and think this may be causing problems, talk to your systems administrator.
Try pressing the F12 key on your keyboard and disabling proxy servers, unless you know that you are required to use a proxy to connect to the Internet. Reload the page.
"

More elaborate, but those are those words, not real help really.

WISH:
====
This kind of problem can happen to anyone, why not display instead just a html page with table (it could be just a local .html file, and it could be a template so clever user could customize it).

Each table would be nice image + short text:
[reload] try again
[magnifying glass] search internet (1)
[history icon] show visited pages (2)
[book] explain more (3)

(1) then pages are searched for: with extra "www" prefix like in this report example, http instead of https and vice versa
(2) then pages from history are shown, with +/- N differences in spelling
(3) then the similar page to one opera shows is displayed

I think it would be useful no matter how experienced the user is (maybe except (3) in case of power-users :-) ).
