I can't use any filesystem function (fopen, file, fsockopen, etc.) to 
open a remote file (fopen wrapper is obviously on). 

For example if I try the following:

$S = file ("http://www.yahoo.com/");

I obtain the error: "Bad file descriptor"

If I use an absolute IP address:

$S = file ("http://216.32.74.50/");

I have no problem.

The machine runs BSDI BSD/OS 4.1 + PHP 4.0.3pl1 + Apache 1.3.11

No problem to access dns from this machine as "ping www.yahoo.com" or 
"wget www.yahoo.com" work well.

I don't want to use absolute IP numbers to retrieve data from remote 
file (as they can change often). Any ideas, suggestions?

Thank you.
