Hello! I see you’re encountering a "server error" with the Pi Network app on your device running Windows 10 and WebKit browser. Could you please tell me a bit more about the error? For example:

- When exactly does the error appear?
- Are you using the Pi Network app via a browser or a desktop app?
- Does it show any error code or message details?
- Have you tried any troubleshooting so far?

This info will help me guide you better. Meanwhile, here are some general steps to try, especially for server-related errors:

1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes unstable or restricted network can cause server errors.

2. Clear Cache and Data of the Pi App or Browser:
Since you mentioned using WebKit browser on Windows, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. This can resolve certain server-related glitches.

3. Disable Private DNS or DNS Settings:
On phones, turning off Private DNS helps with connection errors. For Windows, you can try switching your DNS to a public one like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) to avoid DNS issues.

4. Update the App or Browser:
Ensure your Pi Network app or browser is updated to the latest version, as older versions might have compatibility issues with servers.

5. Restart Your Device:
Sometimes a simple reboot can refresh connections and clear temporary glitches.

6. Check Pi Network Status:
Sometimes the server itself might be down or undergoing maintenance. You can visit Pi Network’s official support or Reddit communities to see if other users experience similar issues.

If after these steps the error persists, please share any error codes or messages you see, and I can help dig deeper or advise on contacting Pi’s support.

Are you comfortable trying these initial steps? Let me know if you want me to walk you through any of them one by one!

Hi! Thanks for sharing the specific error message: "-1003: A server with the specified hostname could not be found" on your iPhone with the Pi Network app. This error usually means your device is having trouble resolving the server address, often due to DNS or connectivity issues.

Let’s try these steps tailored for your iPhone to fix this:

1. Check Your Internet Connection:
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if the issue persists on both networks. Sometimes certain networks or Wi-Fi DNS settings can block server access.

2. Restart Your iPhone:
A simple reboot can clear temporary network glitches.

3. Reset Network Settings:
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This resets Wi-Fi passwords and network configurations, so you’ll need to reconnect to Wi-Fi afterward.

4. Update the Pi Network App:
Ensure you have the latest version of the Pi app installed via the App Store.

5. Clear Cache (If Using Pi Browser in the App):
If you use the Pi Browser inside the app, try closing and reopening it or clearing the browser cache if there’s an option.

6. Check DNS Settings:
If you have custom DNS on your Wi-Fi settings, try switching to automatic or a public DNS like Google DNS (8.8.8.8).

7. Reinstall the Pi Network App:
Delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store to refresh all app files and network permissions.

If these don’t resolve the issue, the server hostname might be temporarily unreachable from your region or device due to network restrictions or server-side problems. You can also check Pi Network’s official support or community channels to see if others face this issue currently3 6.

Would you like me to guide you through resetting the network settings or reinstalling the app? Let me know how it goes!
