#33886: Startx script cannot handle fake domain names on PPC Tiger? --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Peter_Dyballa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: xinit --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by Peter_Dyballa@…): Replying to [comment:1 jeremyhu@…]:
It doesn't have to do with fake or real. It has to do with resolving. If it doesn't resolve, then you can't use it.
Why isn't hostname.fritz.box resolving?
A 'ping <hostname>.fritz.box' is getting resolved, returning the correct IP address: {{{ 64 bytes from 192.168.178.4: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.123 ms }}}
Is hostname.local resolving?
A 'ping <hostname>.local' is getting resolved, returning the correct IP address: {{{ 64 bytes from 192.168.178.4: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.115 ms }}}
What is your /etc/hosts?
{{{ 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost }}}
What is your /etc/resolv.conf?
{{{ search fritz.box nameserver 192.168.178.60 }}} Port is compiling software on Tiger, so it will stay up for a days. Since Tiger is booted from an external disk via FireWire it seems it cannot hibernate, so I am switching it off or booting into Leopard on the built- in disk. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33886#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
