Common errors

Connection timed out

Most connection issues are due to incorrect DNS resolution. If the connection is timing out, check that the hostname you are pointing at is resolving to the correct IP address. You can do this by running nslookup <hostname> at the cmd prompt.

If the host name is not resolving correctly, you can fix this by modifying the Windows hosts file.

1. Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with Administrator privileges.
2. Append a new line with <ip address> <hostname>
