gethostbyname in TCPv5

The subj allways returns NULL.

No ‘named’ is running, only ‘Tcpip’.
The lookup name is in ‘/etc/hosts’ file.

Is this a bug?

Thanks
Oleg

Did you set up “lookup file bind” in /etc/resolv.conf ?

Yes & No :slight_smile: Tried with & without this parameters,
doesn’t change the result.

With “lookup file bind” in /etc/resolv.conf, set your /etc/hosts with full
name in it,
like:

192.168.100.1 myhost myhost.mydomain

Try “ping myhost” or “ping myhost.mydomain” see if it works.
I can’t think of any other reason that gethostbyname() would faild.

please post
ls -l /usr/watcom/10.6/usr/lib/sock
there shouldn’t be anything.
if there is anything, please remove them and test again.

Yes, the watcom “generic” socket3r.lib was there, and it was responsible
for those.
TCP5 setup script lets the lib to remain.

So, the problem is solved.

Thanx
