#4883: SIMPLE could not resolve hostname

 When trying to log in to a SIMPLE account, an error message is shown:
 Could not resolve hostname. This message appears below the (empty) Buddy
 List immediately when I start the program, before (or after, see below) I
 enter my password. Pressing Ignore or Reconnect just clears the message
 area. But there is a difference: if I restart the program after pressing
 Ignore, the message does not appear until I enter my password. I seem to
 be 'Available', but probably not logged in, as I'm not allowed to add
 buddies. Nor am I able to see (with tcpdump) other network traffic than
 DNS queries being generated.

 I had this same error in Adium 1.0.6 in OS X 10.3.9, and now in Pidgin in
 Windows 2000. I've chosen 'Use UDP'. I've tried with and without SIP
 proxy. (Am I doing something wrong or am I just the first to use this
 protocol?)
