Hi peeps, I'm running FreeFileSync inside a VM (It's a long story but I don't really have a choice)

When I try setting up a drive connection I get this error:

Is this something to do with the VM, maybe firewall?

Can confirm the internect connection on the VM works fine
The VM is runnning OpenSUSE Leap

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Might be a temporary network issue. I've opened an already running OpenSuse Leap in Vmware and also got EAI_NONAME(-2) at first after clicking "add connection". Then when trying to reproduce this after a minute or so, the error was gone, and the browser opened as expected.

I had same prob. Solution for me was simply to use different browser for this (Linux: Chromium Web Browser instead of Firefox).
