Hello, Everyone Going off the suggestion that someone made about Emacs having issues with resolving hostnames, I grabbed the SRPM of emacs from Rawhide, changed a line that said "resolv=no" to "resolv=yes" and rebuilt it. When I updated to those newly build RPM's of Emacs and attempted to see if the problem was still occuring, I discovered that the problem is fixed! I accidentally grabbed the Rawhide SRPM of Emacs. So, for kicks, I'm going to try rebuilding the Fedora 16 SRPM of emacs with NO changes whatsoever, and then I will try rebuilding the Rawhide version again, this time NOT changing "resolv=no" to "resolv=yes" This way I will find out if the change I made really had anything to do with fixing the problem...
