Hi all, I've been using gethostbyname() in my network code for a long time with the fix for hostnames that return more than 4 addresses. This has worked fine. Every once in a while a user comes back to me saying that they got a "gethostbyname error" (an error message I output in case gethostbyname returns NULL). I usually tell them that this must be a problem with their DNS configuration in their network settings. However today I got 5 emails from users saying that gethostbyname failed. On my 2 Palms and in POSE it works fine. What can make gethostbyname() to fail ??? The same users usually claim that their other network apps (email, web browser) work fine. Any clues? anyone's got a reliable function to connect to a net address?
