Hi
I am getting repeated "cannot resolve host name" messages on my ArmX6.
My setup has the ArmX6, a Windows7 PC and a Raspberry Pi connected
through the same router. The PC and the PI can resolve names, the
ArmX6 frequently fails to resolve the same names. I get the problem
with Netsurf and Netfetch.
I have tried loading OS6 over the previous version, which made no
difference.
The name I get the most problems with is news.orpheusnet.co.uk. The
smtp address has the same problem. I also have problems with
www.nckc.org.uk. In both cases the addresses are fine whe accessed
from Windows or the RPi (which is running RO5.21).
Are you running via DHCP (automatic network addresses) or using fixed IP
addresses.
Double click !Boot and go to Network, then Internet. Go to Interfaces and
then "configure". This will show "DHCP" or "Manual".
If using DHCP mode, please ensure all other windows are left blank, except
for the computer's name in "Host Names" (aka "Resolver").
Also, check that you can ping your router, and perhaps try pinging some
external sites too.
Finally, it *may* be worth resetting your router.
