MySQL error: Can't get hostname from your ip address

Question

I use my remote MySQL database during long time.

But today I suddenly have found that I cannot connect to the database. I have got an error.

Answer 1

I ran into this problem when installing MySQL 8 on a Windows 10 machine. Most of the solutions found on the internet are setting skip-name-resolve which never worked for me. At last I found out this one which worked for me:

netsh winsock reset

Then reboot the computer. Also try set

127.0.0.1 localhost

in %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts if needed.
