Yeah, it's there. And sure I tried with "direct connection to internet".
Maybe it's a problem with my local configuration (SuSE 6.4) but I have no
clue. /etc/resolv.conf is empty except when a dialup connection is
established. /etc/host.conf has "order hosts" and "multi on" and
/etc/hosts has "127.0.0.1 localhost" ...
But "nslookup" failed -- but I don't know wether this only asks the DNS and
cares nothing about /etc/hosts ...
And all other internet programs (navigator, telnet, ssh, etc.) work fine
with "localhost".
