I correct myself. It is wrong to put %c in the StrPrintF function for err.
So now i check the error message to see if it matches any of the list of netErr messages below by doing a switch check. It does not correspond to any of them. Since I got that list from the Palm OS Reference Guide at palmos.com/dev, does that mean that this error is undocumented? How am i supposed to know what is going wrong? 0 netErrTimeout netErrNotOpen netErrDNSNameTooLong netErrDNSBadName netErrDNSLabelTooLong netErrDNSAllocationFailure netErrDNSTimeout netErrDNSUnreachable netErrDNSFormat netErrDNSServerFailure netErrDNSNonexistantName netErrDNSNIY netErrDNSRefused netErrDNSImpossible netErrDNSNoRRS netErrDNSAborted netErrDNSBadProtocol netErrDNSTruncated netErrDNSNoRecursion netErrDNSIrrelevant netErrDNSNotInLocalCache -----Original Message----- From: Rainman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 2:37 PM To: Palm Dev Forum Subject: NetLibGetHostByName error Pointer Hi all, When I call the NetLib function hostInfoP = NetLibGetHostByName (sNetLibRefNum, hostNameP, hostInfoBufP, kNetTimeout * SysTicksPerSecond (), &err); The call fails and returns an error in the param &err. So I check what this error is by printing it out. StrPrintF (sText, "Error %c retrieving host address", err); But instead of getting one of these following possible errors 0 netErrTimeout netErrNotOpen netErrDNSNameTooLong netErrDNSBadName netErrDNSLabelTooLong netErrDNSAllocationFailure netErrDNSTimeout netErrDNSUnreachable netErrDNSFormat netErrDNSServerFailure netErrDNSNonexistantName netErrDNSNIY netErrDNSRefused netErrDNSImpossible netErrDNSNoRRS netErrDNSAborted netErrDNSBadProtocol netErrDNSTruncated netErrDNSNoRecursion netErrDNSIrrelevant netErrDNSNotInLocalCache I get the error �P�. When i print it out as an integer it is Error 4688. Has anyone come across this error and know what it means? I�ve searched through the knowledge base, documentation and newsgroups, but I havent found this error. Thanks in advance. Ray _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
