me too was hit by the 3194 error on my iPhone 5 but the Hosts file solution didn't work, in my case it was the Comodo firewall on my computer that was causing the issue. I uninstalled it and the problem was solved ! I found the tutorial on hubpages to be effective most of other tutorial including the one from Apple forum were talking about this Hosts issue only without thinking that it is affected to jailbroken devices only.
