Well that does


       ^NetNameResolver addressForName: self localHostName

where self localHostName on my machine returns 'Otter-2.local'

where it really does addressesForName: and then if there is more than
one then

addresses first socketAddress

So for my mac it's

fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:9%en5(Otter-2),
0(0)-inet6-stream-tcp fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:8%en5(fe80::21c:
42ff:fe00:8%en5),
0(0)-inet6-stream-tcp fe80::21b:63ff:fe02:d2db%en5(fe80::21b:
63ff:fe02:d2db%en5),
0(0)-inet6-stream-tcp 10.37.129.2(10.37.129.2),
0(0)-inet4-stream-tcp 10.211.55.2(10.211.55.2),
0(0)-inet4-stream-tcp 192.168.1.139(192.168.1.139),
0(0)-inet4-stream-tcp

where it has 4 ipv 6 address and 3 ipv 4 addresses.

and doing NetNameResolver localHostAddress then gives:
fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:9%en5(Otter-2),0(0)

The problem then is figuring out what you want, versus grabbing the
first element in the list of IP address serviced  by the machine.
Perhaps in this case you thought you should get 192.168.1.139?


Now if I ask for
^NetNameResolver addressForName: 'localhost'
then I get back
::1(localhost),0(0)
