The error says that the dns server the device is talking to can't resolve the name. It may also mean we can't talk to the dns server. Can you resolve other names (google.com, cnn.com, etc)? Are you on wifi or mobile data? Are you talking to a public dns server? Is your server world accessible and has its dns record been published?
If this is on a private network you should probably use wifi to give access to your private dns server and the server itself.
