Exception: No such host is known

If your network does not provide DNS name resolution for your Harmony Hub you'll see this error when connecting to the IP:

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known at System.Net.Dns.InternalGetHostByAddress(IPAddress address, Boolean includeIPv6) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(String hostNameOrAddress) at HarmonyConsole.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Data\harmony-master\HarmonyConsole\Program.cs:line 80

The issue is with agsXMPP.net.ClientSocket.Connect() making a call to Dns.GetHostEntry().

SOLUTION: Add a line in your hosts file (located in %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc) mapping the Harmony Hub's IP to a name. For example:

192.168.0.50 HarmonyHub
