Host Name Unresolved 2.5.2.7 Packet Tracer

[diving960]

Hello, such a question for you: I am doing the work 2.5.2.7 Packet Tracer, according to the task, you need to follow the link http://www.cisco.corp to download files, but it says to me that Host Name Unresolved, no matter how I try to do it , still doesn't work. Tell me what could be the problem?

it is DNS name resolution problem/issue.  your PC cannot get to DNS server; check IP of DNS server in PC IP config settings; can u reach DNS server?

you can attach your PT file here, it must be in zip format!

Regards, ML

Have you sorted this issue? I have got the same issue, however I do not know what I can do ..

Could you help me if you sort this issue please?

Ya, if its the same issue as  mine , then u just ve to go to desktop click on ip configuration and make sure it on DHCP, do this for all user u work with, u might have to redo it for each new packet tracer task

Packet Tracer can be a little quirky, but the solution to confirm DHCP settings was spot on...

If you are receiving a "Host Name Unresolved" message when attempting to access the http://www.cisco.corp website in the Packet Tracer activity, it is possible that there may be an issue with the DNS (Domain Name System) configuration.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Verify that you have entered the URL correctly. Make sure that there are no typos in the URL and that you have entered it correctly.

Check that your DNS settings are configured correctly. Verify that your DNS server settings are correct by going to the network configuration settings of your device in the Packet Tracer and checking that the DNS server IP address is correct.

Try accessing the website using the IP address instead of the hostname. You can use a tool like nslookup or ping to resolve the IP address of the website and try accessing it using the IP address instead of the hostname.

Verify that there are no network connectivity issues. Check that your device is properly connected to the network and has a valid IP address.

Check that the website is up and running. It's possible that the website may be down or experiencing issues. Try accessing a different website to see if you can access it.

Hi

 From which place you have problem

From May PC is fine

[Chuky]

is there a chance the problem is from my PC? I have attached 2 screenshots of the feedback i got, one for the browser when i browse www.cisco.corp and the other for the email task (did you try sending email to sally from mike? did it go through?) 

[Flavio Miranda]

Both Sally and Mike is using static IP address. You need to change to DHCP

you the real MVP

I solved this issue through these steps:

==>  Open Mike's PC ==> Open IP Configuration ==> Select DHCP for IP Configuration instead of Static

Close the IP Configuration window and Open Web Browser to complete the task.
