HELP - gethostbyname() no longer works

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
    I played around with my /etc/resolve, /etc/hosts, and /etc/hostname.
And now, the function gethostbyname() returns
NULL.
    This seriously broke up all of my programs. I am connected in a LAN
with a given ip address using ethernet.

    At a moment: my /etc/resolve.conf has nameserver 127.0.0.1
    /etc/hostname has localhost and /etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 localhost

    I believe these are the default values. It worked two days ago.
Please help....

    Thanks.

Shao.
