 not valid host (invalid-host.macports.org), so that the test HAS success
 if it PRODUCES an error.

 > Correct so far. If the lookup of `invalid-host.macports.org` does NOT
 fail, there is a potential problem with your setup.

 Chrome, I got an error). And this is flagged to the user with that
 warning.

 > It depends what kind of error you get. If it's the error message usually
 printed by Chrome (http://files.neverpanic.de/chrome-dns-error.jpg) then
 your connection is fine and you should not see this warning. If you see a
 different page (usually with your ISP's logo and a search form) your DNS
 servers do not correctly indicate that this domain does not exist, which
 might lead to problems when automatically downloading files.

 etc.."

 connection.

 > Just to make sure, let's verify this is actually the case. Please run
 the following command in a terminal and paste its output:
 > {{{
 > /usr/bin/host invalid-host.macports.org
 > }}}


 It prints:


 {{{
 $ /usr/bin/host invalid-host.macports.org
 invalid-host.macports.org has address 212.48.8.140
 Host invalid-host.macports.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
 Host invalid-host.macports.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
 }}}

 Sincerely, I don't understand what is wrong with my connection. I work
 with it since 2004 without big problems..

 Ciao,
  Angelo.
