From: Wyss Clemens Date: 2001-09-21T19:09:09+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:21483] getaddrinfo: DNS temporary failure (SocketError) - again I didn't get an answer to my last post, so I re-try ;-) When opening a (client-)Socket I get the following error: /obcp/bin/testtools:171:in `open': getaddrinfo: DNS temporary failure (SocketError) On the very same machine websurfing, ftp'ing, etc. work perfectly, so I don't think the problem is related to our DNS server. I would really appreciate any help. Clemens
