Previous screen shot I posted was truncated. Changed computers and now have a complete screen shot. Notice this is not the "Enhanced version" that Coxengr talked about. In the upper right hand corner it says "Enhance error results page".

And what should the Cox 'Enhanced version' of DNS do? If you get the syntax correct, should it take you to the page requested? If you misspell it or it doesn't exist, will it take you to an 'Enhanced error results page' maybe?

If you reread the OP, you should find that page is in fact what CoxEng was talking about. It substitutes a normal DNS error 'Page Not Found' with the one you posted. In fact he spells out 'enhanced error results' several times.

BTW, using Google as a DNS filter works pretty good. At least it almost always does a better job at speeling than I do.......

I recognized it was indeed the page coxengr was talking about, but it looked to me like this "beta version" needs more than just some spelling correction. I just had a dry humor way to trying to post the obvious grammatical error.

Sorry folks, I just don't see this as an "enhancement" but an "annoyance". Much rather just see a 404.

I wonder how many "team sessions" were wasted arriving at this piece of junk. I bet they already have the PR team creating advertising for TV espousing this miraculous new feature.

I think it's safe to say CoxEngr didn't create that web page......

What result do you get instead of entering dslreports.con, if you enter another site such as........ cox.con?

At any rate, pretty poor showing not to make the leap from 'con' to 'com'.
