Connect() to 'ns.exitgames.com' failed: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known

I just keep getting this error in unity. Even the demos in the PUN are throwing the same error. I am using unity 5.5.1 and PUN free version.

Hi @Rahul,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Please make sure the Photon client can access Photon servers from the network (in this case nameserver ns.exitgames.com).
Try changing the network.

Thank you for the reply !

I tried to ping ns.exitgames.com but it is showing Request Timed out.

Here is the result:-

ping ns.exitgames.com

Pinging nameserver-asia.cloudapp.net [104.215.158.132] with 32 bytes of data:

Hi @Rahul,

Yes that is expected. Photon nameserver runs on Azure which blocks ICMP.
You should make sure it works inside Photon itself.
