Problem: I received the error "Unable to complete network request to host "". Failed to locate host machine. The specified name was not found in the hosts file or Domain Name Services. Solution: An IP address can't be used in place of a host name in the server field for a DB connection within the Commuinications Diagnostics utility. . If you try to use an IP address, the above error will happen.
