Looking up your hostname...
Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead <--- how do i fix this hostname issue?

It's probably due to a DNS failure. Maybe you should look for another one, like for example OpenDNS

This was solved in the support channel.

The DNS servers were dead, so we swapped them with 4.2.2.6 and 4.2.2.5
