RFC is a Remote Function Call and CVE is Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. Since RFC is commonly used for server exploitation via viruses, most servers turn that function off, resulting in an error message like you reported.
While this may be a legitimate function call, this often means that your system has been compromised by a virus or malware. Run a reputable virus and malware scanning tool, like this one.
You can read more about your error message here.

    RFC stands for "Request for Comments", seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for...

    RFC 5746 is about a particular vulnerability in TLS/SSL.

    The Firefox warning is re-assuring: it means the server does suffer the vulnerability described in CVE-2009-3555 and resolved by the means described in RFC 5746.

RFC stands for Request for Comments, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments.

A vulnerability affecting TLS/SSL was disclosed in CVE-2009-3555, see http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3555.

RFC 5746 is a memo explaining how to fix it.

Firefox information message is re-assuring: it means the server doesn't suffer the vulnerability.

PCs fail, and Cell phones on wifi fail>????

where did slingshot come from,. somebody put it there ask them to make it work, your service provider put it there
and did you know many slingshot routes are INFECTED.
2012 up
"The exact attack vector is not clearly known, though the Slingshot APT is known to utilize CVE-2007-5633, CVE-2010-1592, and CVE-2009-0824 "

all I and do is guess, below, location, and routers model not told.
are you in New Zealand post here to N.America.?
who is your ISP, and what modem/router did they put in your home.
one of these in NZ'
NF18 Fibre NF18 ADSL/VDSL + Homeline NF18 ***** VDSL NF4V ADSL/VDSL + Homeline
if yes call them in NZ ,your ISP read you billing for phones to call.
and ask too if infected. modem it is.

no country told
no modem/router told.
no TV model told
basically no way to answer lacking facts and blinded in a text box.

when posting be sure to tell country first.

so we can tell you who can fix this.
or call your ISP they surely will.

What does the code rfc822 mean when you get back email that was not delivered.

RFC-822 is a text formatting standard. There are many, many RFC rules. This particular one is a rather old rule about text formatting on ARPA net. May be generated by an old system or the error may be such that the system generating it doesn't know what else to call it.

For Sony ps3, when trying to sigh into playststion network, it first wants me to accept the terms and conditions again. After waiting for the terms and conditions to load, it comes up with "a server...

This means that the server has received the request headers, and that the client should proceed to send the request body (in case of a request which needs to be sent; for example, a POST request). If the request body is large, sending it to a server when a request has already been rejected based upon inappropriate headers is inefficient. To have a server check if the request could be accepted based on the requests headers alone, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request (see RFC 2616 14.20 Expect header) and check if a 100 Continue status code is received in response before continuing (or receive 417 Expectation Failed and not continue).
