I've been playing on a friend's server recently and it's been going fine but he had to move the server so there was an ip address change. For some reason everyone can get on fine except me. I coould, howeve, log onto the server from my other friend's computer and he couldn't log in from mine; i just keep seeing "Can't resolve host name" and i have triple checked the Ip is correct. Help?

Can't resolve hostname means the hostname of the server you have entered is mistyped. Be sure there's no extra spaces, or characters in the address you typed in. If the connection does not work you'd get a connection error.

Yeah i've lokked around at other people who have had this problem, but i had everything typed out exactly how my friend did and he was getting on fine so I couldn't figure out what to do.

Do you have a firewall or a Peer Blocker running?

Not that I know of; all that changed was the server's IP I havent changed any settings on my computer.
Well if you have the hostname(Words not numbers) open up command prompt or Terminal and type in nslookup <hostname>, when you get their IP run "ping -l 128 <ip>". If that succeeds without packet loss then I suspect it's either a client bug, or the hostname is invalid. This error isn't usually thrown unless something with the actual host address is wrong.
This problem is a simple problem and it does mainly occur when the host re-starts his router. What is happing is when you restart your router you ip address changes because the router cleans up every thing. How it works, it goes through every thing it has connected to it and labels them in the form of ip addresses so your router will have a basic ip address or default gateway such as 192.168.0.1 (mine) so it will go through all the connections and 192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4. How to check yours. click start - run - cmd- then once there type in - ipconfig after that look for ipv4 and that is your computers ip address to the router. there will be anther ip address simular to it called Default Gateway, that is the ip address form the router
(note - I have a different router to most people so it will not be the same ip address)
When you port forward you put in this address (ipv4) for the router to know what it is port forwarding form. So you must re-port forward with that ip address and every thing will be back to normal.

2. Just skip the hostname and use the IP address. Its direct.
