*Can't Resolve Hostname FIX*

[purplepieman]

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.

Follow this guide: https://store.opendns.com/setup/

~Thanks to MrMark for the original guide over at TIMV


The servers you should set your DNS servers to are: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

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.

(update) Added IPs of the DNS servers, thanks Sub

as i told you. to see the guide you need a login, and i dont want to get a login, so could you just copy paste the guide into this thread?

 

[purplepieman]

I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about? The link I put takes you straight to a guide, and you don't need to login to anything.
