Host Unknown - XMPP Pidgin

Question

I have two machines on my network. I installed ejabberd on one of the machines (Machine A), registering two users there. I have a Pidgin running on both machines. I signed a contract with Pidgin on machine A and I was able to log in. When I tried to log in to the second Machine B account, I get a Host Unknown error message. Can anyone help me out?

(I checked the ejabber logs and see machine B trying to access it)

Answer 1

I was able to solve this. I put the IP address of the server instead of the domain. So now I put localhost there and the IP address in "Connect Server" on the "Advanced" tab.
