Peter, I had set these values—host name to 'HPLaptop' (without the quotes) and domain to 'domain' (ditto) so I wonder if it does make a difference what values are given; what did you use?
Also, in my case the laptop is connected via wi-fi not Ethernet. Don't know whether that matters. Finally, I found that I could enter (for example) www.marutan.net<http://www.marutan.net> into the hosts file on RISC OS; this let "ping www.marutan.net<http://www.marutan.net>" work correctly but I couldn't use Netsurf to display the site (it hung, causing RO to hang as well).

However there is one setting you could have missed that can cause the error you're seeing, in the RISC OS Internet configuration Name Server configuration window. https://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/manual/net-ro-tun.html https://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/manual/i/ro-tun-7.png Make sure you have a value in "Host name" and "Local domain", they can be anything you like, and reboot. If not set to something then namelookups fail in the manner you describe even if the "Primary name server" value is set correctly.
