Try using the IP address of your XBMC box instead.The XBMC instance is on my computer, and when I change the XBMC video server backend Hostname to the IP, I now receive an 'Unauthorized' error message. I don't understand...what is not allowing the connection...my computer, XBMC? Presently, I have my firewall turned off.
I also added '192... XBMC922' to my Hosts file, and I receive the same 'Unauthorized' message.
I suspect you edited the hosts file on the wrong computer if using the DNS name doesn't work but the IP address works, or the hosts entry points to the wrong address.
"Unauthorized" means XBMC doesn't accept your credentials. Make sure they are correct. Also try accessing the XBMC web interface from your browser to make sure it really is enabled and working.
