I found this forum posting using a Google search. Search the page for "Bad DNS address" and you will find a tip that may help ... or not. Basically it is saying that you need to reset your Blackberry to get around an OS bug.

I've no idea if this tip is still current, or whether it could damage your Blackberry, etc. Your risk ... not my problem :-)
