Excellent. Just in case you don't know:

and in progress: http://book.pharo-project.org/

To my problem:

With the Pharo 1.0 image, the classVarNamed:put: message was not understood.
(Same for Linux version of Pharo 1.0).

Ups...sorry. Actually that was for breaking encapsulation as NetNameResolver does not have a setter for such class variable.
To do a quick test just implement a class side method in NetNameResolver like this:

useOldNetwork: aBoolean
�� UseOldNetwork := aBoolean

And then evaluate:

NetNameResolver useOldNetwork: true.

With the Pharo 1.1 image you linked me to, the message was understood, but
had no effect.

I still cannot get Socket>>ping: to work; it always times out.

Ok...the network package is not the best in Pharo and we had several problems :(

�

And yes, I meant the OS command window ping worked. �For Windows XP it is
what you would call the DOS command line. �I also downloaded and tried the
Pharo1.0 in my VirtualBox VM running Ubuntu. �I have the same problem: �I
can ping localhost from the Linux command line, but Pharo 1.0 ping always
times out.

Ok...I know very little about network but maybe someone can help you.

cheers

Thanks very much for your help.
