There are usually docs which say something about network tests, as they
rely on your network being like theirs :-/.

hostid and hostname (in the error messages) are things I would associate
with networking. That's why I asked.

Name or service not known sounds also like a server being asked for
something it isn't doing. Some things try for wget, and then reach for
alternatives in hope.
