Dropbear client & server errors on Android

Hi,

I successfully compiled the Dropbear client for Android, but when I try to
connect to an address it gives me the following error:
"Exited: Error resolving '<the address>'  port '<port>'. Name or service not
known"
When I try to connect using IP address - all works fine.
Is there any way to make Dropbear use some external nameserver, like 8.8.8.8? Or
any other solution you can think of?

As for the server: I fiddled with it a lot, applied different patches, overcame
numerous error messages, but the message I can't overcome now is:
"Exit before auth (user '<user>', 0 fails): Exited normally"
What can be the problem at this stage? (I'm using pubkey auth)

Thanks a lot,
Leonid.
