Hi Shrenik The code is doing what it is supposed to do. Please take a look at the definition of a hostname and what makes up an FQDN. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name Valid characters for hostnames are: * ASCII(7) letters from a to z * The digits from 0 to 9 * The hyphen (-) * A hostname may not start with a hyphen * When following the old RFC 952, a hostname may not start with a digit. The dot '.' is used to concatenate the different domain labels. In your case you are using an IP address as hostname which is not a valid hostname. The first dot in the name you provide is interpreted as domain label separator, thus the hostname is 192. BR Matthias
