to give more background on my environment: my Mac is connected to
a ISDN
router(using ethernet). I use network address translation to access my provider, with internally non-routed addresses.
The interesting thing is that I can reach the update server from
netscape,
but, at the same time, cannot access them from within Squeak. The same happens when I use the Squeak browser: I can access sites using the IP
number, but not
using their actual name. Interestingly it seems that if I have
accessed a
site once through IP number I can then use the actual name. However, I
have to do
more tests to verify this.
Are you using a proxy for Netscape? In that case, name-resolution for host-names in Netscape is not done by Netscape itself but by the proxy. In my MacOS-X-Server setup, I have the blue box (MacOS emulation running as a process within MOSXS) set up with an IP address not known to the outside world, and without a connection to DNS. Both IE and NS can access hosts by host-name via proxy or directly using IP addresses, but not directly using host-names.

Marcel,
the proxy is not involved here: I also tried some tcp/ip test tools on my Mac. With all of them I can resolve names, but not with Squeak!.
thanks anyway,
