Summary: DNS resolving with computer name. Product: Wine Version: 0.9.29. Platform: PC URL: http://ash-fox.theden.ws/temp/weird-dns-issue.txt OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-net AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Ash-Fox@QuickFox.org
When trying to install "Magic the gathering online", I encountered a weird DNS issue.
This DNS issue seemed to be caused by the fact my system's computer name (Tapestry) was not resolvable, which caused the program to ultimately fail with a host resolving issue.
After adding the IP address to the /etc/hosts file for 'Tapestry', that didn't help it, infact I got additional errors in the program popping up (see .txt link)
Only after I had added the entry (Tapestry) to my DNS server and removed it from /etc/hosts would it work.
*** Upon further testing I found setting anything in my hosts file would cause the "warn:winsock:wsaErrno errno 12, (Cannot allocate memory)." issue when trying to resolve it.
I'm currently using Kubuntu edgy, and the binary repositories listed on WineHQ's website.
