Question

i try to connect (HttpClient) to an internal server in my app via wi-fi. But every time i got an UnknownHostException if I use the domain name of the server (http://domainname/..). If i use the Ip instead, it works well. This happens not only on the emulator but also on a real device (htc desire).

Did anyone got the same problem? Solutions i found in web only refer the problem to emulator. http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg16951.html

Thanks for your support

Solution

It seems that Android does not implement the DHCP option "DNS search list". See bug #8030.
