VPN 'Cannot resolve host address' error

I've searched Google and the forums extensively and haven't found this issue addressed. I followed the video tutorial to setup the VPN and download the client. When I download the client and try to connect I receive a

RESOLVE 'Cannot resolve host address: HQ: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] The specified host is unknown.'

What am I missing? On the Astaro (v7.501) I changed my host name to my IP address, but no luck.

I logged into the User Portal and downloaded the client/keys from the Astaro. Under the Management -> User Portal -> Advanced, I changed the host name from 'HQ' to my WAN IP address but no luck.

Hmm - i think you should tell wether you are using the SSL VPN Client, the IPSec VPN Client or something else to get some information.

I think you have to set the wan ip in the 'remote access->ssl->advanced' section. That is put into the *.ovpn file.

Or you change it in the *.ovpn file on your client.
