Error: impossible to find a server with host name specified

[fedege96]

Hi,
as attached, it’s some time I am facing this error, appearing totally randomly.
It happens on the Mac always on which manage active listings and auctions starting. The matter is not that warning, but the fact that if I do not connect to that Mac and if the warning is appeared before scheduled auctions are launching, this warning blocks the process. Then, as soon as I press OK, auctions are started immediately without problems and they start immediately, although they were planned in the past. This is quite annoying because in few seconds I see a bunch of auctions started and it means 0,50€ per each one (money are lost although I manually close them immediately after, since not started at a proper time). I’d like to find a way to investigate the reason of such warning in order to avoid it to appear again. Or, at least, I would ask for a solution in order to make the auctions launch process working although the warning is appeared.
Let me know if I can send anything to catch the bug.

Thank you
Federico

Do you by any chance use a custom image server?

Hi @ilja ,
no never used before; I use EPS and the field “enable image packet if free” is checked.

While that alert panel is on screen, can you run the “Sample Process” command from Apple’s “Activity Monitor” utility on GarageSale. This might give us an idea what might be causing the panel.

Until now, it appeared 3 times apparently without a reason, so I really don’t know how to reproduce. Especially considering it’s on a computer always on and none works on it, apart when I connect. So when I see the warning I cannot know if it’s there from hours or minutes. Anyway, I will keep an eye and report as soon as it happens again.
