Jenkins ParameterizedRemoteTrigger fails calling a job (but job runs ok)

[Elhanan Maayan]

hi..

i'm keep getting this exception when calling a remote job from jenkins (version 2.164.1) on a remote server version (2.174) 

however when installing a new jenkins 2.174  on my own machine the remote call works.

the job itself is very simple no parameters, or anything, but it still fails.

turns out, if i use the actuall ip and the dns name when referring to the server it works
