Hi, I played around with my /etc/resolve, /etc/hosts, and /etc/hostname. And now, the function gethostbyname() returns NULL. This seriously broke up all of my programs. I am connected in a LAN with a given ip address using ethernet.
At a moment: my /etc/resolve.conf has nameserver 127.0.0.1 /etc/hostname has localhost and /etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 localhost I believe these are the default values. It worked two days ago. Please help.... Thanks.
