I did some googling, and by default, I don't believe Ubuntu caches DNS unless you've installed nscd. Just to be sure, though, I restarted the networking service, then tried it, same result. I then restarted my laptop completely, same result. I then tried the app in a virtual machine which had never before been connected to the host name in question. Same result. Thank you for the suggestion, though. Just thinking, if my system had the DNS entry cached, it would most likely affect all programs (ping, wget, firefox, etc.) and not just my Lazarus program, right? Everything else I try respects /etc/hosts as it should, it's just my test program using synapse which doesn't. -SG ======================== Computer over. Virus = very yes.
