Hello!
When I call gethostbyname() to get IP of localhost, it returned NULL, and perror() displayed "No such device". Why? My network was configured correctly.
Check your entry in /etc/hosts. gethostbyname uses /etc/hosts for the IPs of localhost; otherwise the function uses /etc/resolve.conf, if you are connected to any network.
Thank you! ______________________________________
