Since applying the last OS update (Snow Leopard 10.6.4) I have started
getting a lot of these error messages when browsing all kinds of
different sites in Safari, and Firefox reports a 'cannot find server'
messages similarly. My router appears to be on and functioning
normally, all lights lit etc. It's incredibly frustrating - has anyone
else found the same?

Not seeing that here. How are you connecting - wired or wireless? Fixed
IP or DHCP?

Might be worth seeing what's filled in for your network interface's
Router address field the next time it does it.

Also worth checking what DNS settings are being used?

It might also be worth explicitly disabling IPv6 - System Preferences >

Configure IPv6: Off.

Ahhh.... thanks for jogging my memory, Jim. I now remember fiddling
around with the DNS server settings a few weeks ago, when as it turned
out, PlusNet were also fiddling around with a 21CN upgrade but didn't
tell anyone, causing my connection to fall over for several hours. I
think that's the cause - I've removed the fiddling I did, and it seems
(touch wood) to be OK. Must have been a coincidence with the OS update.

Glad to hear it's working again. FWIW, Plusnet's 21CN move has caused me
a fair bit of trouble as well.
