Other applications are working fine. I found this thread which describes a problem with AF_INET being used by curl instead of PF_INET: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2002-02/0106.html To confirm, I ran straces on curl and host - indeed, curl looks to be using AF_INET while host (which is working fine), uses PF_INET: rockenboxen:/etc# strace curl -O http://somehost.com/this.php 2>&1 |grep -i inet socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not supported by protocol) read(3, "search rockenboxen.com\nnameserver 20"..., 4096) = 69 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),sin_addr=inet_addr("1.2.3.4")}, 16) = -1 EI PROGRESS (Operation now in progress) [...] rockenboxen:/etc# strace host somehost.com 2>&1 |grep -i inet socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = -1 EAFNOSUPPORT (Address family not supported by protocol) read(7, "search rockenboxen.com\nnameserver 20"..., 4096) = 69 rockenboxen:/etc# -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
