Why does my server verification fail with the error "Unknown host" when using PolySpace Client for C/C++ 7.0 (R2009a)?

When I try to run a server verification, I get the following error in the Full Log even though the server exists and I am able to ping it successfully:

 Verification process failed

Similarly, if there is a blank space is prepended to the port number, the following error will appear in the Full Log:
