David,

  As David, KB4FXC and I have pointed out this is probably not a problem at
your end. The node you are trying to connect to is not using Hamvoip DNS
and therefore it could either not have or have inaccurate routing
information for you. There is nothing we can do about this. I suggest
looking at the connection map for that node and possibly connecting via
someone else that is connected there until it is resolved.
