On April 8th, Jon Reinberg posted a message about InetAddress.getByName. I get the same error. Here are the vitals. Running Win95 w/196MB memory - JDK 1.2 - Apache 1.3.4 (Win32) built 1/10/99 - JServ 1.0b3 jar and config files overlayed on 1.0b2 install. I make the call InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName (serverName); and get the exception java.net.UnknownHostException. The serverName contains the name of my local machine. I have no DNS, but have it in my host table. ping will resolve it successfully. Any thoughts?
