No browser access: Couldn't resolve host name Error

Please help - Yesterday everything worked, today no connectivity.  New place but playbook says I'm connected to the WiFi and to the Internet.  I can't use the browser to get to the internet.   I've deleted the Bridge connection (it didn't work either). Turned off bluetooth and still NOTHING.  Tried to turn device on and off.  Ready to heave the playbook out the window.

Hey bjb4565
Are you connecting to the same wireless hotspot?  Is it a home Wi-Fi router?  If so, try unplugging your router and plugging it back in.  If its not a home router, it may be a security configuration implemented on the router your are trying to connect to.
Thanks

  • "couldn't resolve host name" error message

    I have a new Z30 with the latest OS update installed and can’t connect to several Wi-Fi locations because of error message ‘couldn’t resolve host name’.  Is there a fix to this as it seems to be an issue with BB and no other type of devices?

    Assuming you're connecting via wifi, this would suggest your wifi connection is failing somewhere along the way.
    Occasionally, my PB's wifi icon shows green and looks like it's working, but if I turn the PB wifi off and back on, it usually fixes the problem. You could also try rebooting the PB if resetting the wifi doesnt work. 
    If these things don't correct the problem, then check your wifi router (reboot it if necessary) and maybe check your internet connection with another device, ie home computer or whatever to make sure you're not having service issues.

  • Applescript error: curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'javascript:bookmark();'

    I'm using the Get Link URLs from Webpages Safari action and I keep getting the following error:
    Applescript error: curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'javascript:bookmark();'
    Any idea how to fix this or is this just a bug in Automator?

    It seems to happen on almost any webpage. Originally I tried it on
    http://www.ebaumsworld.com/
    and got the following error:
    curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http:' (1)
    Then I tried running it accidentally while typing this page (http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=2834805) and got:
    sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
    sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file (2)
    Here's the workflow:
    Get current webpage
    Get link urls from webpage (only return URLs in the site domain)
    Get link urls from webpage (option NOT checked)
    this is where it fails.
    It seems the action is not very robust as far as handling errors. You'd think one of Apple's built-in actions would be better tested.

  • ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve service name error

    Hi
    I'm having trouble connecting to database throug sql*plus.I'm able to connect through TOAD but getting 'ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve service name error' when trying to login through sql*plus using same credentials .
    I tried running sqlplus through command prompt,but when i enter the user-name i'm getting ORA-12203:TNS:unable to connect to destination.
    Can someone help me with this error.
    Thanks.

    It would probably give you an idea where to start looking. You need to make sure that you have the correct .ora files needed for establishing connections. I don't know if your service desk just does the installation but no setup or if they also do the setup configuration. You can also try doing the setup on your own to check. You can use net easy config.

  • Problem resolving host name.

    Hi all,
    How can I resolve some host name's IP address? Example: I've got the host name "java.sun.com" and I need to know its IP address. How can that be done?
    I first thought about
    InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("java.sun.com");but it threw an UnknownHostException, even though I were connected to the internet and could open this page in the browser.
    Again, how can I do that?
    Thank you all in advance
    Filipe Fedalto

    Oh, geez!
    You are right, I have a proxy. Is there any way I could still do it? I mean, the proxy gives me full access to the internet, so that if I type this URL into a browser it allows me to view the page...

  • Cannot resolve host names on local network

    It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
    Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
    BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
    At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
    It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
    Thanks.

    Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
    Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
    A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
    Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
    the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
    so at the above that you could add for example
    192.168.1.5 mypc
    192.168.1.6 myprinter
    Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
    ping mypc
    So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
    Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

  • Error code "Couldn't resolve the host name"

    I cannot access internet from tablet
    WiFi shows connected
    noticed this yesterday
    any suggestions on how to fix error

    Did you manually setup your wifi. Can not resolve host name usually means a problem with the dns. Which router are you using?

  • Oracle 9i "TNS:could not resolve service name" on 64-bit OS

    I have a 32-bit .NET 3.0 application that can run on 64-bit OS using WOW64. When I connect to the database on 32-bit OS with 9i (9.2.0.1) client, everything works fine. However, if I install the same client on 64-bit OS (assuming that it would run using WOW64) and run the application, I get "TNS:could not resolve service name" error.
    To make sure that it's not something with configuration, I've installed both clients in the same directory on 32-bit OS and 64-bit OS, and copied the same tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files. I can also connect to the database without a problem on 64-bit OS using SQL Plus. The error only occurs when connection is made via the application, which uses .NET oracle client. The only main difference is that on 64-bit OS, 64-bit version of .NET 3.0 is installed.
    Does anyone have an idea why I am getting this error?

  • The host name cannot be resolve ? ( with linksys router )

    Hi all, I have some problem with setting up a network. I tried to set my network according to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network   the network/internet is fine except the host name with "http://" cannot be resolve. For example
    ping 216.239.61.104
    ping www.gogle.com
    both work fine, until I try,
    ping http://www.google.com
    it give me error, tell me that the hostname cannot be resolved. I tried to config my network using both dhcp or fix-ip, but the problem still present in both way. Internet works fine in windows/ubuntu.
    Anyboy has any clue ?  The router I use is wrt54gl with tomato firmware.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    if pinging www.google.com works then dns resolving _does_ work. Why would you want to ping http://something?
    You should try opening http://whatever in a browser not pinging it from command line.
    Or am I missing something obvious?
    Yes, for instance, all mirror list for pacman is in "http://...." or "ftp://...." form. I could easily change the repository list, but I'm not sure if it'll have same problem in future with other program.  Also, if it work in ubuntu and windows, why not arch.

  • How do/did I get my printers' host names to resolve properly to their IP addresses?

    I have a LaserJet P1505n and I gave it a host name of "Laser".  I have a Photosmart C7280 and I gave it a host name of "Color".  When I provide my browser with the URL "Color", that resolves to the IP address of the Photosmart C7280 and I get the C7200 Series web interface.  All good.  When I provide my browser with the URL "Laser", that causes my browser to initiate a search for "Laser".  Not what I wanted.  I want to have the URL "Laser" resolve to the IP address of the web interface of the P1505n.
    How did I do that in the first place and how do I get it to happen for both printers?  This might be a printer unrelated question, but it works for one printer (the newer one) and not for another (the older one).  I thought I'd ask anyway.
    [Why this is useful is the same reason you have domain names - so you can type in www.google.com and not have to look up the ever-changing IP address.  Granted by printers change IP addresses less often than Google.]

    If you want your applet to access resources on the local system (instead of on the server where the applet came from), you must sign your applet. In this example, it is probably not worth it. It is quite unlikely that somebody who runs your applet will also have an SMTP mail server on their system.

    Hello All,
    we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
    from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
    correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
    I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
    Pls suggest us.
    Pankaj Kumar

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
    Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
    Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

  • How to resolve a host name from IP using JNDI/DNS service provider

    Hi
    I got two questions on JNDI/DNS service provider:
    1) How to resolve a host name when i got an IP
    I understand How I do it inverse.
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "dns://"+server+"/"+domain);
    DirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
    Attributes attrs1 = ictx.getAttributes(host, new String[] {"A"});
    2) This example above works when I specify the domain in the provider url.
    If I am not specifing a domain but only the dns server I got an NameNotFoundException.
    What should I do if I don't got the domain?
    get the availible domains and loop on them?

    Hi,
    if your DNS server supports that, you can do a reverse DNS lookup. This works as follows:
    String server = "your.dns.server";
    String domain = "in-addr.arpa";
    String ip = "4.3.2.1";
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "dns://" + server + "/" + domain);
    DirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
    Attributes attrs1 = ictx.getAttributes(ip, new String[] {"PTR"});1: Use the pseudo-domain in-addr.arpa
    2: Use the reverse IP address for lookup, i.e. if your host has 1.2.3.4, use 4.3.2.1!!
    3: Request the PTR attribute
    see also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup]

  • Problem with the wrong host name, when accessing IR or ID

    Hey all,
    I am trying to accessing the IR and ID at my client however the wrong host name is being called. For instance the
    URL should start nero.bcm.tmc.edu, but it is calling just nero. The basis guy here fixed a similar problem in the exchange profile for calling the Builder start page, where do we need to fix the problems for accessiing the IR and ID for the start page?

    You're using the "imaps" protocol, but you've set properties for the "imap" protocol.  Change all the property names from mail.imap.* to mail.imaps.*.
    Also, get rid of all the socket factory properties.
    If you still can't connect, see these connection debugging tips.
    Most likely you're using the wrong host name or port number.  In almost all cases, it's better to just let JavaMail choose the correct port number.
