Host Not Found

[TeamTesla]

I'm getting a weird error for the past week when I start up launch pad:
Unable to download SocketError:Host Not Found (11001) - http://manifest.patch.station.sony.com/patch/sha/manifest/planetside2/planetside2-live/live/planetside2-live.sha.soeSocketError:Host Not Found (11001) -

This error code shows up like 5 times in the same error box. I've looked this up and finding very little on how to fix this. I've made sure I have no firewalls up for the game and validated all game files. Funny thing is is that I can just restart my computer and start launch pad until it works correctly but its getting very annoying. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you reported this to SOE? Seems like a likely issue on their end.

I just reported it now. I haven't seen anyone else post about this so it might just be me.

The web link goes to a 404 page on SOE's website, but its parsing suggests it has something to do with authentication. I think the only thing you could do while waiting for a reply from SOE's customer support is bypassing your router (if you have one) and connecting directly to your cable modem.

Already tried that and still get the error.

Do you use Windows if so do you use Internet Explorer as your default web browser?
