hostNameToAddress not working???

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

The hostaddresstoname and hostnametoaddress function work fine. My  
tiny cgi script on Memebot works fine too.

I bet your machine is connected to a local network using a router. It  
is also possible that you have additional gateways defined on your  
local machine, e.g. to facilitate Parallels.

If an IP number or address doesn't exist or is invalid, e.g. because  
it is of the form "Machine.local", the hostaddresstoname and  
hostnametoaddress functions may return empty. This is normal.

Perhaps, you are looking for:

put hostaddresstoname(url "http://xtalk.memebot.com/cgi-bin/ip.cgi")

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
