Can you access the internet from a browser?

gethostbyname() returns the hostname when it can't find the
IP (invalid address.)

Make sure your nameserver's are setup correctly.

I'm having a problem where gethostbyname is returning the hostname not the IP address. Resolving hosts works fine on the command line with nslookup, host, etc.

This is the exact problem as bug #8856. Andy said it should be resolved in 4.06, but I'm having problems.

Thanks.

Adam
