I did exactly as you said and still I get "cannot resolve host", but thank you for your thorough tutorial.
I can't get my wallet and daemon to sync! Every time, even though quazarcoind.exe daemon is synchronized and saved, simplewallet.exe says can't connect to daemon "wrong port or either daemon not started" I I have tried many times, deleted old files and blockchain, re-synched but nothing. My coins are stuck in Minergate

Cannot resolve host sounds like a DNS error with the name of the pool you're trying. Are you sure you've got the pool url correct? Try looking up the pool hostname using the command "nslookup qcn.cryptity.com" to make sure your pc has working DNS and can resolve hostnames.
When you just run the daemon with no parameters, and the wallet with no parameters, it should just work, as they'll both be using the default port. The wrong port or daemon not started message is possibly a firewall problem.
