Cannot resolve host name #45

Closed iandoug closed 8 years ago

iandoug commented 8 years ago

Hi I presume this is some error on my part, just not sure at which end. New knock installs on both server and client. When attempting to connect (either with IP address or domain name), I get Cannot resolve hostname

My local machine (Gentoo) has a simple one-name hostname, does it need to be fully qualified? Server (Centos 6) obviously has a full hostname.

Thanks, Ian

Issue appears to be problem with copying sample instruction from website ... the -v was probably an mdash and that got treated like a hostname instead of a switch. Closing.
