Can't resolve hostname

[Colourlight]

You are very kind, but this problems is beyond a space character in the name. You can read the entire thread in order to get the point.

i know, but try the other IP.

Ok so I made the Post wrong ;-; Please delete the First one @Soph

Usually when it says "Can't resolve hostname" the Ip is usually typed in wrong, or maybe missing a certain number. This has happened when I try to join servers then I look at the ip and put it in again, (Correctly) then it works.

If that isn't the case try these steps, I'm not aware of your OS so here is a Guide for each.

Mac OSX

1. Go to System Preferences and choose Network.

5. There, type in 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 (you may add both, but one should work alone)

I have not used Linux/Unix systems in awhile, but this will help you to add the name servers using the shell/terminal. You do not need to do the steps after ADDING THE NAMESERVERS. THE NAMESERVERS LISTED AT THE LINK ARE THE SAME AS : 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220

Hello @Camel ,
I has read your post from other forum's post before, but I did not follow these steps. I want to avoid setting Google DNS or OpenDNS addresses, for two main reasons:

1. Privacy
2. Network conflicts with current LAN infrastructure

In a few days I will update the entire OS to newest version, taking advantage of its newest release.

Today I solved it. For linux users based in RedHat's architecture (Centos or Fedora), this team releases its OS with OpenJDK version instead Oracle's Standart Edition. So, looks like this native version contributes to keep issues about Minecraft server's connectivity specifically at spawn time.
How do I suspect this? Recently I updated Android Studio to newest version. It has been told me since few days ago that OpenJDK shows intermittent performance and UI issues. Cool, nice advice! So, How can I solve it?

1. Install the Oracle's JDK version

2. Update java path from previous to newest version:
sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 1

3. Set the new path using "update-alternative" command, then just select the appropriate path:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.79-2.5.5.0.fc20.x86_64/jre/bin/java
2 /usr/java/latest/bin/java
3 /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_60/jre/bin/java

Once selected, you should verify java version doing javac -version after all. Minecraft will start with jdk architecture from now avoiding all previus problems discussed at this thread.
