It does. It was just exactly in the process of resolving the host name where the GetHostByName() failed (when not preceded by the ResolveNameToIP() call). I've traced through a lot of it, several times, and I still don't see any initialization or "linking" code... but that described behavior happens every time in a minimal testing setup. And just to make it even clearer: it doesn't need to be a ResolveNameToIP() call to resolve the outgoing mail server's address. Even if a call is made to the recently created routine to get the local IP addresses, any subsequent calls to get the mail server's address succeed (as normal...). That's why I was looking for some initialization code that wasn't getting called... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
