Page not found issue with Wordpress

Hi,

I have 4 Wordpress installs hosted on my Dreamhost account.
Sometimes when I'm posting a new entry, update a plugin or do something other in my backend (the Dashboard) I get an error site displayed saying that "the site can't be found".

Does anybody else has similar issues?
Don't know how to get rid of that annoying error.
It seems even leading to double-posting some entries. (I post, get an error that the post can't be pusblished, but in fact has been published, then I hit publish once again and have doubled the entry.)

I've not seen this. Is that error the standard one your browser gives you for a nonexistent site?

Are these brand new sites? Do you ever get that error when just browsing your site? Does this happen with all four sites? Are they all at different domains?

It's the standard Wordpress page someone gets looking for a site that doesn't exist.

> Are these brand new sites?

Kind of...I've transferred them in August to Dreamhost.
Since then they are living here.

> Do you ever get that error when just browsing your site?

Nope, never got that error by just browsing.

> Does this happen with all four sites?

Yes, indeed it happens with all four sites.

> Are they all at different domains?

Huh? Your web browser looks for a site. It has to connect to a computer and then ask for a web page at a certain site. So you're not going to get a Wordpress error page if the site doesn't exist because that means it couldn't find a computer to connect to or the computer it connected to doesn't know anything about the site much less give you a Wordpress error page.

Perhaps it would be more helpful to cut and paste the error message to avoid any confusion. Most likley your Wordpress install is generating URLs incorrectly. A malformed URL will lead to a "site does not exist" error because it is not using the correct domain and should be apparent in your browser address bar.

Have you tried to Reload the page when you get the error?

How about posting a screenshot? A CMD-4, then Spacebar for just the browser window should do it. Then we can see the URL and the actual error.
