Wait, for me it gives three options, Computer, Router, and DNS Server. Which one should I use?

Computer then follow the guide!

Someone should "Stick" this thread or whatever so that it is easier to find.

Purple I feel like this should be sticky.

Hey! If you guys are having the unknown host issue, and you are sure that you have the IP typed in 100% correct, you may be having local DNS issues.

Follow this guide: https://store.opendns.com/setup/

The servers you should set your DNS servers to are: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

This worked for me, and as I was not having the issue before 1.4.2 as has happened to most I assume that this should work for most of you. If it doesn't please post here so we can work together to figure this out.

(update) Added IPs of the DNS servers, thanks Sub

Very! Useful guide, i think i already send this link to around 6 people who want to know, how they can fix it

I decided to re sticky this page as I am seeing it in almost every general support issue.

I have got problem. I click connect, time passes, and then writes: "Bad Login"

Also, you would want to connect to a server that says AS1.mcsg.in etc. not us1.mcsg.in etc. (the numbers change).

I have that sometimes, not very often though.
