This indicates an external DNS failure. This is an external systems administration problem. The cause of the problem is not within the application or the Chilkat component/lib. The problem may be demonstrated by opening a DOS command prompt (or a Linux shell) and typing the following:

nslookup xyz.co.jp

Once the nslookup command is working, then the DNS lookup within Chilkat should also work.
