Gethostname always returns noErr but sometimes the name I get back doesn't work in gethostbyname. Result: Host is nil and h_errno is 1. char hostnamebuf[256]; struct hostent *host; if ((err = gethostname(hostnamebuf, sizeof(hostnamebuf))) == 0) host = gethostbyname(hostnamebuf); Example: The name I get is "plechatovm2k3-0" The name I should get is "plechatovm2k3-0.lss.corp.com". This one works when I hard code it. Any ideas? Thanks Laurie Gill Roxio Retrospect Sonic Solutions _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
