mbed client - "api.connector.mbed.com:5684" resolves to "8.8.8.8,53" - how to set DNS?
I am using a Nucleo-L152RE with a SIM808 GSM Board to connect to mbed device connector.
I adapted the simple client example (https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-client-quickstart/blob/master/source/main.cpp) to work with my mbed hardware.
Unsecure connection to device connector work like a charm but only if I hardcode the IP address (#define MBED_SERVER_ADDRESS "coap:169.45.82.18:5684)
Though if I use #define MBED_SERVER_ADDRESS "coap:api.connector.mbed.com:5684" (as stated in the example) the address maps to "8.8.8.8,53" and obviously I am not able to connect.
Any idea on how to change this behaviour?
Thanks for any advise!
It first does a request to DNS server (8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS server) over UDP. If that call fails then there is an issue somewhere in your driver. So I'm wondering what driver you're using (as said in the other question :-)).
