A server with the specified hostname could not be found...

I have recieved notifications that updates are available (such as iTunes 11 and and iWork and even system software), however, when I go to the App Store updates tab, I receive a drop down notification that says "An error has occurred. A server with the specified hostname could not be found."


Has anyone had this issue? Or hopefully knows of a fix?

I am having the same problem. I see I have updates thru the Mac App Store but when I try and run the System updates in the Mac App Store it errors out. But I can update third party apps.


Have even tried going thru Terminal to check for software updates but still have same error claiming it can not find the hostname server.
