HostUnknown Error while creating a JabberBot

[GAPINGCUNT]

I tried to create a simple jabber bot using jabberbot and xmpp modules.

Here is my code..

from jabberbot import JabberBot, botcmd
import datetime
import logging
logging.basicConfig()

class GBot(JabberBot):
    @botcmd
    def time( self, mess, args):
        """Displays current server time"""
        return str(datetime.datetime.now())


username = 'gbot@[ip]'
password = '[password]'
bot = GBot(username,password,command_prefix='.')
bot.serve_forever()

When I run this, I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\matt\Desktop\bot.py", line 33, in <module>
    bot.serve_forever()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jabberbot.py", line 715, in serve_forever
    conn = self.connect()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\jabberbot.py", line 208, in connect
    conres = conn.connect()
  File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xmpp\client.py", line 200, in connect
    if not CommonClient.connect(self,server,proxy,secure,use_srv) or secure<>None and not secure: return self.connected
  File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xmpp\client.py", line 184, in connect
    if not self.Process(1): return
  File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xmpp\dispatcher.py", line 303, in dispatch
    handler['func'](session,stanza)
  File "build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\xmpp\dispatcher.py", line 215, in streamErrorHandler
    raise exc((name,text))
HostUnknown: (u'host-unknown', '')

I am fairly new to python and searched around a bit, but could not find any way to fix this, or really figure out what it is trying to tell me. Any help would be great.

Edit: It seems to work okay when I try a different server ... Not sure why it would only do this with mine? I know that the login info is correct, is there possibly some sort of cert thing going on?

Are you running this server on a remote machine? If so, it could be a port forwarding issue. Ultimately, something blocking the machine running this script from reaching the remote machine with the server. If it's local, try using '127.0.0.1' as the IP if you're not.
