Stream:error (host-unknown) when trying to connect

This must be a very basic problem. I’m using Smack for the first time and started with making a connection to the server. Here is the code:

ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration(“my.server.com”, 5222);
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
try{
connection.connect();
connection.login("user@domain.com", “passwd”);
connection.disconnect();
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

It returned with error:

stream:error (host-unknown)

at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.access$000(PacketReader.java:44)

Connection failed. No response from server.:

My server is running fine because I can connect it with Pidgin. Can someone please help? Thanks a lot!

It looks fine to me, but it seems it can’t resolve the hostname of your my.server.com. Try feeding it the IP as well to see if that makes a difference:

ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration(“192.168.0.1”, 5222, “my.server.com”, ProxyInfo.forDefaultProxy());

where 192.168.0.1 is the IP of your XMPP server.
