This is a really annoying problem, that luckily doesn’t affect all servers. While waiting for new release of SG that should definitely solve the problem, you can to edit your hosts file and add this line:
91.121.39.115 authorize.smokin-guns.net update.smokin-guns.net
This will be enough to let you connect.
The hosts file used by your computer to map hostnames to IP addresses. The hosts file is a plain text file, and is conventionally named hosts.

| Linux, POSIX | /etc/hosts |
|

| 95, 98/98SE, Me | C:\WINDOWS\hosts |
|
| NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and 8 | C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts |
|
| Apple Macintosh | ||
| Mac OS X 10.0 – 10.1.5 | (Added through NetInfo or niload) | |
