planeshift.skylabhost.it is pointing at other address instead of 109.168.124.3 . changing "planeshift.skylabhost.it" with "109.168.124.3" in servers.xml do the trick.
apparently there's some problem with the DNS table.

It's definitely a DNS mismatch. I'm using opendns as dns server, changing it fixes the issue.
hopefully the problem will vanish with the next DNS update, but the change in servers.xml remains valid.

it's planeshift.skylabhost.it, not the other way round

I tried to change the IP address, as I'm having the same problem, and it wont let me change the file.  It says it cannot be created.  Any thoughts?

Tessra if you are using windows you have to run the text editor you are using  in administator mode
( rightclick => choose: ' run as administrator ' ... then open and change the servers.xml file )
