Hi Mike Thanks! You were correct. I wrote a small C program to find out the result of gethostbyname() and the result was h_errno=1 (HOST_NOT_FOUND). IBMFB1L0DH.ercsarnia.ca is an internal address available only on our LAN, so it wouldn't work for you. It's my computername (IBMFB1L0DH) and domain name. When I used "ping", I was able to contact the computer. However, by googling I determined that gethostbyname uses the $HOSTALIASES environment variable: mine was blank. so I added my own computername and IP to my /etc/hosts, and set $HOSTALIASES=/etc/hosts. Now, Dreamweaver starts for the first time since I installed it one year ago. That's all it wanted!!! I can't believe it. I'm going to make a new post requesting more information on the WINEDEBUG variable since it's been useful to me. Thanks again Mike. -----Original Message----- From: wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mike Hearn Sent: April 27, 2005 7:23 PM To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Help with debugging fatal exception in Dreamweaver On Wed, 27 Apr 2005 14:35:50 -0400, Angela Burrell wrote: > obviously, my problem has something to do with ws2_32.dll, which I've > replaced to no avail.

Most likely it's an invalid address, I get an NXDOMAIN for "IBMFB1L0DH.ercsarnia.ca". Clearly Dreamweaver isn't expecting that call to fail as it doesn't bother checking the return result (assuming it's Dreamweaver that makes the call and not Wine itself). So the questions are: 1) Where does this name come from? 2) Why does it fail? 3) Why does Dreamweaver not expect that? You need to do some more research I think. Try grepping the logs for that name and see where it appears first. BTW a +all trace is usually overkill, +relay is enough thanks -mike _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
