Yes. What are you exactly trying to do?

The documentation to QHostAddress::setAddress specifically says that it 
supports only IPv6 or IPv4 addresses:

    Sets the IPv4 or IPv6 address specified by the string
    representation specified by \a address (e.g. "127.0.0.1").
    Returns true and sets the address if the address was successfully
    parsed; otherwise returns false.

You passed a hostname. I think you wanted QHostInfo, not QHostAddress.
