I have a linux machine (ip = 10.10.10.8), which can ping other machines on the same subnet...such as
10.10.10.1 10.10.10.2 10.10.10.5 10.10.10.6 10.10.10.254 If I use socket.gethostbyaddr(<ip>) I get back results when ip is 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.254 but for the other IP addresses (10.10.10.5, .6, etc) I get back "unknown host". In fact I get "unknown host" for the linux machine that I run the gethostbyaddr from. If perform the same operation from a windows machine (ip = 10.10.10.5) it returns data for the other IP addresses as expected. any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
