Cannot resolve 'mining.ypool.net'. Is it a valid URL?

[aashidham]

I get the error present in the title when I run the xptMiner with the following invocation:

./xptminer-avx-b15 -o mining.ypool.net:8081 -u username.ric_1 -p x -d 0

Do you know why this is? I am running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have tried including the http:// as well as not including it, both the mining and www subdomains of the site, and different ports listed to connect to the XPT service on ypool. Nothing has worked.

Are you behind a firewall / filter or is it possibly blocked in your country? Works from everywhere I'm able to test from. Ypool is the default, so you might just be able to leave off the -o

I actually tried leacing out the -o flag entirely and got the same error. I
can curl and ping ypool.net, so I don't think it is a firewall issue.

Could it have something to do with the following error received during compilation?
fastrie/xptMiner/xptMiner/main.cpp:580: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
