Lost connection to Vatsim

I am on Vatsim almost every day, using X-Plane and Xsquawkbox on an iMac, but suddenly I cannot connect to Vatsim, and the error message is:

 

THE SERVER OCEANIA.VATSIM.NET CANNOT BE RESOLVED

 

I have tried downloading and reinstalling Xsquawkbox several times, but get the same error message above.

 

Any suggestions? I miss my Vatsim and my regular VFR flying group!

 

Cheers

Sounds like perhaps an XSB issue, based on viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39983&p=490817#p490812

 

Perhaps file a ticket with XSB, point them to the link above, and ask them to fix the issue.

In the meantime, you might try replacing the server hostnames in its prefs file with their actual IPs. You could also add the corresponding IP addresses for those servers to your OS' hosts file (on Windows: \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).

 

You can find the current list of servers and their IP addresses, among other places, here.
