In spite of your desire for simple English I think you are going to have
to diagnose this symptom into something more specific.

E.g. if by "the banner" you mean the page's proper title (and not an error
title) that would indicate something entirely different than what the standard
"DNS error" message you may be seeing. In that circumstance you could
use View, Source (e.g. press Alt-V,c) to see if there is anything else which
should be showing but is not.

What is your exact recovery procedure? E.g. just closing IE and opening it
again would be completely different from, say, hanging up a Dial-up connection
and redialing too.

Instead of just making that guess why not test it?
E.g. is there another browser that you can use at the same time
which doesn't show the problem symptom? If not, your tech
would have the facts on his side. Alternatively, if you know how
to use telnet to simulate an HTTP connection you could use it.
(See some of my other posts about that if you're interested in that
option.) And before doing that it would make sense to prove that
your DNS server wasn't temporarily unavailable (e.g. using
nslookup.) (I'm just hinting at these things which I suggest often
to others so you can mention them to your tech if he needs more
ideas.)
