OJS3 XML doc error

Hi,
we use OJS 3.1.0.1 (updating is currently no option but in planning for August, when a new server is set up). We have the same problem as stated above. XML export for DOAJ article registration gives the same error. In addition, XML export for DOI registration at Datacite gives the following:

Validation errors:
Failed to locate the main schema resource at ‘http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4/metadata.xsd’.
Invalid XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

… complete xml file

When I uncheck the ‘validate xml box’ registration works just fine. Might this be related and a communication problem between servers?

I am an managing editor and I am not proficient in setting up and changing server settings. What would I have to tell our IT guy to do?
