Hi, @jaimahajan. The error you are seeing is a DNS error. To troubleshoot we need the following details: - the IP address of the system that cannot connect - the IP address of the DNS resolver being queried - the response of the DNS resolver It would also be helpful to have the output of recursive search for the DNS record. Personally, I always use `dig` for DNS troubleshooting as it does things that other DNS tools do not (with recursive lookups being the most common thing I use `dig` for). There are instructions about how to install `dig` here: > **[Retrieve DNS Information Using Dig | DigitalOcean Documentation](https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/use-dig/#installing-dig)** > > Retrieve DNS information from the command line and validate record changes for hostnames without having to account for propagation times. After it is installed, the following commands will give the information required to troubleshoot: ```plaintext dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com dig www.whatnextt.com dig +trace www.whatnextt.com ``` If you would run those commands **on the non-working system** and post the output we should be able to find the root cause. I’m stressing doing this on the non-working system because often people will run these commands on their local system that does work which doesn’t help at all. Only the data from the system not working is useful. ​Please let us know if there are any questions about this and if you post the command output here we can troubleshoot further.
