Failed to resolve hostname

**alinayg** · 21-12-2009, 20:23

Some of the people that are trying to connect to the windows server that I am hosting get this error when connecting to the server.

Code:

Failed to resolve hostname
'pool-74-97-187-201.prvdri.fios.verizon.net': Host not found

My Servers IP/Port Is, 74.97.187.201 / 9987.

Everyone elce can connect to me, just one or two people can't. I don't know If It's me blocking him or If It's his firewall or something, any ideas?

If you run it from your home computer, you have to add the port of the TS3 server in your Router so every one can connect

If you sent someone the domain name: pool-74-97-187-201.prvdri.fios.verizon.net , you could give them your external ip instead. It seems to contain your current ip and if it changes the domain name probably changes to.

Try http://www.dyndns.com/ for domainnames that are easy to remember and install there client and it will automatically update if you get a new external ip adress.

"pool-74-97-187-201.prvdri.fios.verizon.net" is your IP's reverse DNS record. Your users will need to connect to your server based on a forward record or by IP address.

Same Problem here, i dont have an firewall (rootserver, linux).

How i can bind an ip adress to the ts server? on ts2 i must only write it into the server.ini.

**GrexAut** · 21-12-2009, 21:05

Commandline parameters are passed to the TeamSpeak 3 Server using the form:

ts3server_<arch> <parameter1>=<value1> [<parameter2>=<value2>] ...

* voice_ip (0.0.0.0)
IP on which the server instance will listen for incoming voice connections.
Default: The server is bound on any IP address.

* query_ip (0.0.0.0)
IP bound for incoming ServerQuery connections. If you specify this parameter,
you also need to specify the "query_port" parameter!
Default: ServerQuery connections are bound on any IP address.

Example:
./ts3server_linux_x86 voice_ip=86.86.86.86 query_ip=86.86.86.86

And please read the manual!!!

I have read this lines 1000x and i have it not realized

Nevertheless thanks.

Run the server once with the createinifile=1 option. That'll make an ini file in your server's directory that you can use to edit your settings.

I have everything forwarded correctly, people can connect to me fine, just certain ones get this error.

If you sent someone the domain name: pool-74-97-187-201.prvdri.fios.verizon.net , you could give them your external ip instead. It seems to contain your current ip and if it changes the domain name probably changes to.

I sent them my IP address, 74.97.187.201 as the domain, that Is the external Im sure.

This Is my ini file:

Code:

machine_id=
default_voice_port=9987
voice_ip=192.168.1.115
filetransfer_port=30033
filetransfer_ip=192.168.1.115
query_port=10011
query_ip=192.168.1.115
dbplugin=ts3db_sqlite3
dbpluginparameter=
dbsqlpath=sql/
dbsqlcreatepath=create_sqlite/
logpath=logs/
logquerycommands=0

And people connect fine.

To verify, some of your users are getting a 'host not found' error when connecting via IP address?

**alinayg** · 22-12-2009, 04:15

Yes sir, only one gets that error. It could lead to be more tho.

**alinayg** · 22-12-2009, 19:46

Any ideas?

**NerfYoda** · 22-12-2009, 20:26

I couldn't say really. "Host not found" implies a name resolution error, which shouldn't apply when connecting by IP. Can these users ping your IP address?

**Sir Hitman** · 28-12-2009, 12:36

Host not found sounds to me like they try to connect to a host name and not IP adress. Can they connect to other server ? Try the Public Teamspeak test server: voice.teamspeak.com

If you change the ini Ip adresses to 0.0.0.0 do they still have the same problem?
