I have been exactly the same problem.
All devices attached either by Lan or WiFI have intermittent resolution problems...it's better during the day, worse at night.
We've done tests with Google DNS, same issue.
ADSL connection seems fine and speed is good (about as fast as it will go.)..which indicates that the problem is not ADSL but may be either the Home Hub 3 or something in the BT infrastructure.
We are due Infinty roll out this month (delayed 3 months) - we speculated that our problems are due to issues with that roll out since it started and has been getting worse since the original FTTC avaialbility date.

Resolving host issues

Is anyone having Internet issues after the last OS upgrade. Ever since I updated my iMacs I am having "host resolution" issues.

Yes, I am too and many others.

Resolving host difficulties

Greetings. I just upgraded from phone internet to phone internet and broadband. While the installer was here, I askied him about the xfinity router "resolving host" issues when folling imbedded links, etcetera. He said it was my computer: but when accessing by wireless, the same thing is happenning. Frankly, it is more "dial up' speed, than broadband. I've reset the router, and etc ad nauseum. I would like to know exactly how the router should be configured, so i can try to get it working properly. Thank you. david

Well, here I am, keeping this thread open so that i can get great answers. Why i even got a nice note from Kommie- cast statring that I had received responses from my original question, did I like any of them? Of course, it was just synthetic friendliness arising from a computer.. as I'm the only one who has done anything here.. OK so1. the computer internet service guy was nice, but was of no help. I have gone todubya dubya dubya dot .webnots dot com forward slant /correct-chrome-resolving-host-issue/and followed their advice about things to do. so far, it seems to work,uh,thanks everybody for your assistance: and thanks to comcast as well.================ Oh!

Constant wi-fi interruption, "resolving host"

Especially since the upgrade to Mavericks, an ongoing wi-fi connection is lost and the "resolving host" message appears when I attempt to refresh the page. I am still connected to my wi-fi but unable to upload/download any pages. It appears that this happens more often when many of the neighbors are connected to their wi-fi connections. It's almost like the number of local hot spots confuses my iMac.
Any insights or fixes would be appreciated as this is driving me mad.
Thanks.

Hey BrianC9,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on your iMac. The following resource may provide a solution:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
It sounds like the connection to the Wi-Fi network is fine, but the actual internet connection drops. You might want to try power-cycling your modem (if applicable), along with your Wi-Fi router.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Resolving Host & waiting for website issues

Have had infinity now for 8 months or so and ever since upgrading I have trouble connecting to websites with either 'resolving host' or 'waiting for web site' listed in bottom left corner. One of the worst sites this happens on is in fact BT.com! At times sites don't even load at all or correctly.
I have checked down/upload speeds and they seem to be fine most of the time at around 75/17MB per second. Today however this has dropped to 41/17MB.
Can anyone advise what I need to do/update.
Many thanks in advance

I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes. Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

I have started to get this error message: 5.1.3 bad address syntax in my email account. I am using Outlook 2011. It does not appear to be affecting sending or receiving email. I have no idea what it means or how to resolve the issue. Any advice?

Slapd can't resolve host, during kerberization

I've been trying to set up our OD/AD for ever with mixed success. I think I've worked out the last bugs in our odd setup but I'm stuck on one strange issue.
I've been backing out of AD bind and OD Master to Standalone Server to remove all the dir settings. Iv'e also cleaned out everything related to Directory services. I've removed the approiate files in /Library/Preferences and /var/db/
Right now, when I try to set up the server as a OD Master, It seems to go fine but the KDC doesn't start up. I get the "Kerberize" button. When I hit "Kerberize", I get he log in and it fails (login keeps reappearing).
When I check slapd's log, It claims it can't resolve my server's hostname and slapdconf -kerberise fails as a result.
I don't get it.
The hostname is set Properly:
I've set my hostname in Sys Prefs -> Sharing. I've even set it manually in /etc/hostconfig
If I "echo $HOSTNAME" I get the proper hostname. If I "hostname" I get the proper hostname.
The slapd logs report the proper hostname in the error.
DNS appears fine:
I can 'nslookup hostname' and it resolves to IP. I can 'nslookup FQDN' and it resolves fine. I've even entered the IP and hostname into /etc/hosts.
One thing is odd. If I 'dig hostname' I get the hostname back with a period. Dig doesn't seem able to resolve just a hostname. Output looks like this:
Chimp:~ sbandyk$ dig psd-directory.uchicago.edu
<< cut some junk, SB >>
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;psd-directory.uchicago.edu. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
psd-directory.uchicago.edu. 169942 IN A 128.135.136.55
BUT.......
Chimp:~ sbandyk$ dig psd-directory
<< cut some junk, SB >>
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;psd-directory. IN A
I don't get an answer section. I see the same thing on other linux systems in our network (same DNS). Is there any reason why dig isn't returning info on just a hostname? It doesn't seem to use my search domains.
Is this another symptom of a DNS problem that is screwing up my Kerberos krb5kdc setup?
Is there some common issue with slapd and resolving hosts?
thanks,
Steven

Thats just the way dig works. It wants FQDN and doesn't use your search domain.

No.

You seem to be able to resolve name -> ip. But the opposite is necessary too: ip -> name !
So when issuing:
$ host IP_ADDRESS
it should come up with you FQDN.

"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.

Resolving host error on OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

Hi,
I have been facing resolving host error in chrome every 5 minutes for last few weeks. I have tried changing the DNS to 8.8.4.4 etc with no promising results. The issue is faced by mac only as all the other devices seem to connect to the internet just fine. The parental controls are off so even that is not an issue. Any help is appreciated.
Specs:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
Processor: 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Bah!!! I have only just experienced this issue (along with a billion other issues in Pages, but I'll leave that for another day!).
Thank you to all the great suggestions here, which didn't quite work, but led me to something that did.
I tried this and it didn't quite work:
"Hi! There seems to be a workaround for this (I've had this problem too, you'd think Apple'd sort it out?!?!)
At the top of your Pages document is the name of your document. Hover your mouse over this briefly and a drop down arrow will appear. From here you can name the document, give it a Tag and choose the save destination. Click this drop down arrow, and select your save destination from another drop down that will apear. After you have clicked on your selected save destination, click away from the drop down. Then, simply save (Cmd+S OR navigate to file>save) and it will have saved for you!"
But this worked for me:
I clicked on the drop down arrow, like suggested above, and changed the document name. Then I clicked on the 'Where' drop down menu and went right down the list and clicked on the 'other...' choice right at the bottom of the list. I chose a different location and then clicked 'Move'
For some unknown reason this worked for me where the other suggestion didn't quite work.
I've had to find so many work arounds like this in Pages recently, which you shouldn't have to do!
The only reason why I am persisting with pages is it save my clickable links when exported to PDF, where the Word program doesn't.
I hope these issues get sorted before I thrown the computer out the window due to pure frustration!

Resolving host message

I've had BT Infinity for a month now and it's mostly fine, but every now and then the connection dies and a message of "resolving host" appears in the bottom left of my internet browser. It usually only lasts a minute or two and then I just refresh and it works fine again. This is on my desktop computer which is an iMac.
But the weird thing is that when this happens, if I go on my phone - which is connected to the same BT Hub - the internet works fine.
So why would this issue only happen on my desktop computer? Both my iMac and iPhone are connected wirelessly to the same hub. Has anyone else come across this issue? It never happened with my previous internet provider so it can't be a fault with the computer.

Its probably wireless interference.
Try changing the wireless channel on the home hub, there is a choice of 13 channels.
If its a HH5, make sure that smart setup and smart wireless are disabled.
On the iMac, network connections, disable IPv6, as that can cause DNS problems.

The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# 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
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Solution to "unable to resolve host" and frequent network drops

Like many, I just purchased a shiny new HP Touchpad 32GB. Updated the firmware to the latest version, enjoy it's web browsing capabilities and some of the apps.
However, like many, web browsing often coughed or sputtered and would freeze often during network operations. Web sites like Google or Bing would often hang and become useless. A Google search of "Unable to resolve host" showed that I wasnt' alone.
The 'solution', or so it seemed, was to reset the network by toggling airplane mode. But doing this every 5-10 minutes, or more often, was quite frustrating. Also, other applications, such as Spaz HD for Twitter were really lethargic.
This was all a problem until I changed the MTU on my wireless router from the standard 1500 to 1300. Rebooted the modem, all is now well. "And there was much rejoicing...."
After this change, haven't had the need to toggle the Airplane mode even once. Spaz HD runs much quicker, Google & Bing no longer lock up, complex pages such as the DailyCaller.com or Redstate.com no longer time out and work properly.
I would be curious to see if others who are having the same problem, can make a similar change, and if helps them solve this issue.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

For me, it turned out to be somewhat different - my home wireless was working fine with several different devices/OSs, but it seems that WebOS stopped falling back to any DNS servers beyond the first one. Whereas other devices (android phones, linux laptops, etc) still resolved DNS fine using the secondary/tertiary DNS entries, WebOS starting giving me the "unable to resolve host" error. So I changed the (primary) static DNS entry on my wireless router to one of the Google public DNS servers (8.8.8.8) and now WebOS is happy again. The only thing that changed for me (on the tablet) was enabling usbnet just to check it out, and even after I disabled usbnet, I still had the name resolution failures. Go figure...
