[SOLVED] How to fix push/pulls in Mercurial HG (Potential problem with DNS)?

Issue

Today i have an issue. I cant do push/pulls in my Debian(on VM VirtualBox) using Mercurial HG. What I have:

• Corporate VPN
• Oracle VM Virtual Box with launched Debian-based system
• Mercurial repository in my Debian-based system

The problem is: when I try to do a push, I get a bunch of errors Name or service not known. To solve it I tried to edit hgrc file by replacing this:
[paths]
default = http://SERVER_NAME_STRING
by this:
[paths]
default = http://SERVER_IP_ADRES
And it works! But I have to do it manually for each of hundreds hgrc files in my workspace tree. Can I fix this problem without editing of all of this files? (no matter manually or BASH scripts etc)

Solution

SOLUTION
There is 2 options:

1. Ask your system administrator for IP address of yours corporate DNS server and edit your DNS settings, by this IP
2. (The easiest one) Open /etc/hosts file and add new string of settings, by format IP_ADDRESS DOMAIN

---

After this action you will be able to ping your SVC server by domain.
