Ehhh???

the win-miney page is a typo so goes to the error page. What else would you expect?

type a random subdomain in front of the hostname and you get the same.

Obviously somewhere there is a link to the mis-spelling.

What can't he just set a 301 redirect for the short term until he can figure out where the bad link is?

Gee let's set this up for you:

1) This website (http://win-money.zenwaw.com/) a subdirectory, looks like a poorly put together site that needs to learn the basics of TABLE CELLPADDING AND CELLSPACING.

2) This website (http://www.win-miney.zenwaw.com/) is where you want your visitors from Google to end up.

3) ANSWER: Google's traffic is worth much more than your subdomain FOLDER: /win-money. Simply transfer that subdomain by putting in a WINDOWS REFRESH or 301 redirect to the correct website since Google has already index your root directory site and not your sub domain /win-money

4) If www.win-miney.zenwaw.com is not your website you're up a **** creek.

5) When visitors go from Google to www.win-miney.zenway.com you should make that page be blank and redirect to win-money.zenway.com. You could also set up what is called "Domain Forwarding With Domain Name Masking" if needed.

seems to point to the OP not being in control of anything but the sub-domain.

The problem is caused by the wildcard DNS so any www.sub.hostname will resolve to the home page.

It's really a lesson in why using subdomains on somebody else's hostname is a really crap idea if you are trying to earn money from it.

the upshot is;
If you're in control of Zenwaw then fix it, otherwise you are SOL.
