Register New Blog Error 666?
-
I’m trying to register a new blog and every title I enter into the “Blog Address” field gets an error message that says “An error has occurred (666).” What’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

BTW, 666 errors are modem errors and have nothing to do with wordpress.
sShut down your computer completely, wait for at least 1 minute (5 would be better) boot up your computer, reboot your modem (if exeternal) and then try again.

If you look at the link I provided you will see that 666 errors are modem related errors. WordPress cannot fix your modem.

I used Google search and found this information for you.
666 is a dial-up networking(DUNS) error code. In latest versions of OS(XP, Vista or Windows 7), some of the errors can also come for connections other than traditional dial-up modem connections: they may come with DSL or Virtual private networking connections that does not have/involve dial-up.
This DUNS Errors can be resolved by making the properties correct for your dial-up networking connections. Hope you would able to fix the problem. Please note that permanent damage may occur to your PC if 666 Error is left alone and not repaired immediately.
