Salesforce Logon Creates: java.net.UnknownHostException: https

[Former Member]

Greetings.  The last time that I saw this addressed was a thread that was rather old.  It stated that a revised jar file(s) was needed, but I find it hard to believe that this is still an issue now that I have version 14.0.8.1229 RTM.  My thoughts are that I am doing something wrong here.

Details:

1. Not using www.salesforce.com. using https://ldarochester.my.salesforce.com
2. Using the regular username that works natively on the salesforce site (above)
3. Using password+token that work fine on eclipse, demand tools, etc..
4. Have tried various variable combinations (regular url, regular password, etc..)

Any light would be SO greatly appreciated.
