Unable to run DSE II fails with Error: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed

--- Quote Start ---

I am fixing the batch file used to run the builds on multiple FPGAs and to do so I tried to first see the differences in the new DSE GUI and modify the script accordingly. I am unable to for it compile altogether and can not find any info related to that error anywhere on the internet. The build is done on the local machine. Here is a list of errors I receive.

Thanks for your help.

I have the exact same error.......how did you resolve?

I was facing the same problem on Quartus 15.1 and 16.0. Altera Support Engineer recommended me to add an address 127.0.0.1 to Exploration/DSE Server Setting field, which was empty by default.

Hope this could help you, too.

While I can't speak for anybody else, I had the same problem, and adding the localhost address (127.0.0.1) as recommended above, fixed the problem. Is this in the documentation? If not, shouldn't it be?

Thanks
