Hello MCSG,

My friend is trying to get into MCSG servers, but it says "Can't Resolve Hostname". My other friends can get in, but that certain player can't get in. PLEASE HELP!

Hey! If you guys are having the unknown host issue, and you are sure that you have the IP typed in 100% correct, you may be having local DNS issues.

This worked for me, and as I was not having the issue before 1.4.2 as has happened to most I assume that this should work for most of you. If it doesn't please post here so we can work together to figure this out.
