This error only occurs when you have lost Internet connection and the
other is because you are now trying to run fetchmail when it is
running in background.
Check you Internet connection..nslookup
cnn.com to see if it resolves
I'm fairly sure that I have seen it when a browser can still operate. It
would have to be a momentary loss, I think. I will check again, next time I
get the problem.
