FYI, this was your problem. "127.0.0.1", interpreted as a URL, is just a relative reference to some resource called "127.0.0.1". NSURL isn't going to treat it as a hostname. If you really wanted to create a URL out of this, you'd need a scheme prefix, like "telnet:127.0.0.1". NSHost *host = [NSHost hostWithName:[website host]]; Converting a host name into a URL and then extracting the host out of it is pretty roundabout. You can just use NSHost *host = [NSHost hostWithName: server_host]; The -hostWithAddress: call you've got now will work with numeric addresses like the above, but if you put in something like "foobar.com" it'll fail. -hostWithName: should handle both cases.
