hello.
me and some friends we were on a certain server on teamspeak..everything worked fine…
now we moved to another server…8 of us can connect…but me i cant
it says failed to resolve hostname…please help
<23:08:39> Trying to resolve hostname wildatheart.ts3v.pw
<23:08:41> Failed to resolve hostname ‘wildatheart.ts3v.pw’
thanks
The easiest way would be to check if IP/DNS you’re trying to connect is correct. Maybe you made a mistake typing.
Other way would probably be that something (probably firewall) is blocking access to that server. But first check if the address is correct.
check the server ip adress
check all port are open in the firewall
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my TS when trying to connect to the “elserder.ts3v.pro” I get “Failed to resolve hostname” answer. When I connect using the vpn and choosing other countries it works fine (not all the countries tho). But I want my TS to work without the vpn, is it possible?
I tried nslookup thing, didn’t help.
here’s the log:

Host not found means your computer can’t resolve the IP for this address. This happens when ip has been changed and the DNS service isn’t updated yet. Sometimes it needs minutes or days 
Use the IP instead the DNS address.
Please try the IP instead: 51.38.140.227:10631
Omg, this just worked with the IP you gave me! Thank you so much, how did you do it?
Also regarding your answer, there was a short period of time few months ago when I was able to connect to this TS server without vpn (same provider, same laptop, same everything), it lasted for about a 30-40days and then it came back to the fail. I hope if I will keep using the IP you gave me it will keep working normally.
Thank you!
You could try to set a different DNS server for your system. A guide for the Cloudflare DNS e.g. can be found here: Set up Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 resolver · Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 docs
Thank you, will keep it in mind as well. Although I tried using 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 before, did not help 
Maybe you have the wrong information stored on your computer. Try flushing your dns.
Open a command prompt as an administrator or the equivalent on your computertype “ipconfig /flushdns” without the “”
This will completely reset the DNS in your computer. Most ISPs in the world hold a cached DNS on their servers as well and the reset can take between a few hours to a week. It all depends.
I have configured Teamspeak server on windows server. I have a client on another desktop running Windows 11. I can use IP address to connect to server okay. But cannot use the hostname of the server to connect.
I am getting the following error message: “Failed to resolve hostname ”
On the server I have all required ports configured through windows firewall.
On my DC I have DNS entries configured for the Teamspeak Server, both forward and reverse lookups as well as a SRV record.
What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I connect using a hostname instead of an IP address?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Can you try to make a nslookup up to your hostname?
Yes, nslookup works fine. I am able to resolve the name to an IP address.
It might be possible that a myTS nickname is running under the same name.
If that is the case the nickname would be prioritised.
You can create a myTS nickname on the myTS website and set the IP as the target.
If you need a hostname however please provide your client logs.
The name on the myTS website is different from the hostname on the server.
Where do I find the log file?
I do not see the following path in my client installation. %localappdata%\TeamSpeak\Logs\Default
In TS3 you can press CTRL + L to open the logs

I am seeing a line here that refers to TSDNS.
I will configure this and see what happens.
Are you sure the hostname is correct? When there is a valid hostname it will try to open a connection like when you try it with the IP.
Yes, I am sure.
And confirm, this is the hostname for the Windows Server, correct?
And NOT the Teamspeak Server.
Yeah I’ve tried the hostname of the device/computer that was shown in my router dashboard.
Okay, I got it working!!!
