Invalid server address

[buzzer87]

Hi
Every time when I enter the "Host" in the server section and save it says "Invalid server address" !
It only works with the direct IP! so I think it has something to do with the dns resolving .

But when I ping http://www.google.com everything is perfect!

Code: Select all

PING www.google.com (173.194.34.112) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from lhr14s20-in-f16.1e100.net (173.194.34.112): icmp_req=1 ttl=57 time=19.2 ms
64 bytes from lhr14s20-in-f16.1e100.net (173.194.34.112): icmp_req=2 ttl=57 time=18.6 ms
64 bytes from lhr14s20-in-f16.1e100.net (173.194.34.112): icmp_req=3 ttl=57 time=19.0 ms
64 bytes from lhr14s20-in-f16.1e100.net (173.194.34.112): icmp_req=4 ttl=57 time=18.5 ms

I tried the google dns but nothing works

Code: Select all

cat /etc/resolv.conf
#domain fritz.box
#search fritz.box
#nameserver 192.168.0.10
nameserver 8.8.8.8
