Background info:
CPU: AMD Sempron 2400+
RAM: 256Megs
OS: Linspire 5.0
(Don't laugh I bought for $250)
BOINC version: 4.19.3 (Ned's i686 Opitmized version)
SETI version: 4.07.3 (Ned's i686 Opitmized version)

When BOINC starts and attempts to resolve the hostname of the machine i Get this error.

2005-05-18 04:49:20 [---] get_local_network_info(): gethostbyname failed

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks

I had this problem until /etc/sysconfig/network reflected the proper hostname.domain and the system was rebooted. Have you gone through that cycle on this computer?

I get this message as well, but the boinc as well as boincmgr do run well on my main machine, although I'm still working on to get my second machine behind my hardware firewall working for boincmgr with my account at all.

Both machines with Suse 9.3, Firewall FR114P, NIS-Port opened for LAN-Server and for any WAN.

I have to admit my NIS doesn't work as well, so there might be the solution in my own network-configuration. But yes: I'm used to root privileges :)

I read the manual and I think this will solve my problem:

boinc_client -attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu df0d93e384a2700f70e0bc45a1b2c96c

key is an example
