-8 (ERR_ARG) would appear to indicate that the netconn_gethostbyname() function is being passed either a NULL pointer for the name to look up, or a NULL pointer for the destination to write the resolved IP address. Check your arguments to the call; my guess would be perhaps you are a level of indirection off on your addr argument (i.e. passing the value instead of the address of your ip_addr variable).

My call of gethostbyname() after a few seconds always returns NULL. I set a breakpoint within this function and saw that err = netconn_gethostbyname(name, &addr); returns the error code -8. Unfortunately I still don't know what I am doing wrong. DHCP works fine and gives the correct DNS server address. LWIP_DNS is set to 1. There is no packet output from my device to the DNS server at all (no packet captured with Wireshark). Is there a special need to 'somehow handle' the DNS server address? To solve my previous problems I replaced the netdb.c/h files in my stack. Afterwards the compiler errors/warnings disappeared. Was it a bad idea to just replace the two 1.3.0 files by the 1.3.1 version? Any other ideas? Thanks.
