Hi Nick,<br><br>�I just read your message and we faced this problem with Jannik working on the implementation of the network library Ocean.<br clear="all"><br>�Using the 4.2.5beta1U Squeak VM and 1.3 Pharo image, there is primitives in the Socket plusgin to achieve what you are looking for:<br>
<br>hostname := String new: NetNameResolver primHostNameSize.<br>NetNameResolver primHostNameResult: hostname.� <br>hostname<br><br>I do not remember if these primitives are also present in CogVM.<br><br>Hope it helps,<br>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>When I call the following on my Mac:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

NetNameResolver localHostName</blockquote><div><br></div><div>the result is an ip address string eg &#39;192.168.4.174&#39;<br><div><br></div><div>Is there some configuration work required on the Mac to ensure that #localHostName returns a name rather than ip address.�</div>

</div><div>Currently:</div><div><br></div><div>$ hostname</div><div>Nick-Agers-MacBook-Pro2.local</div><div><br></div><div>$ cat /etc/hosts</div><div><div>cat /etc/hosts</div><div>127.0.0.1 localhost</div><div><br></div>
<div>
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts</div><div>::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback</div><div>fe00::0 ip6-localnet</div><div>ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix</div><div>ff02::1 ip6-allnodes</div><div>ff02::2 ip6-allrouters</div>

<div>ff02::3 ip6-allhosts</div></div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;d be happy with #localHostName returning�the hostname or an entry in /etc/hosts�</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve tested on Pharo 1.1.1 &amp; 1.2.1 both using a COG vm</div>
