Thanks Csillag, I did tried busybox and it produces the similar error. The only difference is with busybox, I can't even ping "localhost" which is defined in /etc/hosts. Ping to IP address works fine. Note: I am building busybox statically linked.
Do you know how does android applications resolve names or how do I get the android ping to work with name? Thanks.
