UA server host override not working

OPC UA server has happily been using IP address for a Kepware connection.

Server is 7.6.3-rc2

For some reason IP is now being replacing by hostname and cannot get name resolution as there is no active DNS on this network segment currently.

The forum

viewtopic.php?f=70&t=10376&p=37038&hilit=host+override#p37038

Gives us a workaround.

If you however use the Host Override one gets a NullPointer Fault for any text (host or IP) entered.

Do you have a stack trace or log files you could mail to support @ inductiveautomation.com?

Sorry. I had solved my immediate problem by adding a host file entry to the server and didn’t check back on the forum.

The primary cause was windows trying to add IP to DNS even though no DNS was configured.
