Hello guys, those, who not subscribed to the Pharo list.

I think you should read this:  http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=961

since it seems there are some networking problems with Win32 VM.

None of these are Windows VM issues. The problem referred to above is simply that someone was using a year-old 3.10.2 VM and tried to call IPv6 primitives (the debug log shows that clearly). The IPv6 prims are not available in these old VMs. The discussion below is similarly confused. The Windows VM does return fully qualified names if your network environment is set up properly. Usually, the domain name is set by DHCP, but you can set it manually in the advanced network settings (on XP it's under network, properties, TCP/IP, advanced, append dns suffixes; Vista will surely differ).
