Your DNS is not configured or not responding. mc does gethostbyname() on startup IIRC. Check your /etc/resolv.conf Try to do netstat -a or anything that resolves hostnames If it freezes - it's your DNS configuration's fault. mc is no exception as it uses gethostbyname(). Anyway, it's for mc-users rather than mc-devel, try there ... HTH -- [ Michał 'Mikey' Szwaczko | GPG Key#:0x653CBD53 ] [ Developer/Troubleshooter | GNU Generation Now! ] [ Warez?
