SAM Broadcaster Error 11001 — Host Not Found

Error 11001 is a Windows Winsock error indicating that the specified host could not be found.

What It Means

Windows could not resolve the server hostname to a usable destination.

Error: SAM Broadcaster Error 11001

Possible Causes

  • The hostname is misspelled.
  • DNS resolution is unavailable.
  • The supplied hostname is incorrect or no longer exists.
  • The local computer has a DNS/network problem.

How to Troubleshoot

  1. Check the server hostname character by character.
  2. If your provider supplied a hostname, copy it exactly.
  3. Verify that the computer has Internet access.
  4. Try resolving the hostname with Windows tools such as nslookup.
  5. If the hostname does not resolve, contact the hosting provider or DNS administrator.
  6. If an IP address is available, verify whether the service is reachable using the correct address and port.
Important:

Change one setting at a time whenever possible. This makes it much easier to determine what corrected the problem.

Additional Notes

This is a hostname/DNS problem, not normally a password problem.
