Not that I disagree with you, but except for CMU in the 1980s and 90s I have never seen anyone use something OTHER than 127.0.0.1 for localhost. Having said that, I think only forcing the resolution internall for G_OS_WIN32 is just fine. > Mike -derek > --On December 4, 2010 5:13:39 PM -0500 Derek Atkins <de...@ihtfp.com> > wrote: > >> Or better yet, internally replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1"? >> >> -derek >> >> ----- Reply message ----- >> From: "Christian Stimming" <stimm...@tuhh.de> >> Date: Sat, Dec 4, 2010 4:00 pm >> Subject: GnuCash, Windows 7 and MySQL >> To: <gnucash-devel@gnucash.org> >> >> Am Samstag, 4.
