<p>Hey I am trying to connect to my namecoin server. I have hosted and done the first <em>name_firstupdate</em>. I am using easybitcoin.php. I have stored the <em>rnd</em> and <em>txid</em> I need from the <em>name_new</em> step but when I execute the code the server doesn't respond with anything. I checked my namecoind <em>name_list</em> the domain that's being registered doesn't show up. Any help would be awesome, thank you. </p>

Unfortunately you didn't provide enough information:

* Which OS?
* Version number of your Namecoin server?
* Does this Namecoin server run on your local machine? If not, how is it connected physically?
* Did you apply any command line params when starting the server?
* What is the content of your namecoin.conf file?

Generally speaking, the most common causes for RPC connection problems are:

* Mismatch of the provided data (rpcuser, rpcpassword, rpcport) with the contents of namecoin.conf
* Command line parameter *-server* is missing
