I found out some more information.  Apparently the nslookup Unix command
returns the following:
nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         192.168.0.1
Address:        192.168.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
158.36.131.209.in-addr.arpa     name = f1.www.vip.sp1.yahoo.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns5.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns7.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2.yahoo.com.
36.131.209.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns3.yahoo.com.
ns1.yahoo.com   internet address = 66.218.71.63
ns2.yahoo.com   internet address = 68.142.255.16
ns3.yahoo.com   internet address = 217.12.4.104
ns5.yahoo.com   internet address = 216.109.116.17
ns7.yahoo.com   internet address = 68.142.226.82

I guess that means that nslookup has been removed from her machine?  Is that
what Revolution uses for hostNameToAddress()?

Hey,
  I made a networking stack that retrieves information about the
computer.  The first check it does is hostName().  This returns the name of
the machine.  Then I take the result of that and run it through
hostNameToAddress() to find the IP address.  This works fine on my computer,
but one one of my friends, the hostNameToAddress() doesn't return anything.
The hostName() function still works though.  We are both running Mac OSX.
Has anyone had experience with this?  Is there a different way to find the
IP address?
