I'm not sure I follow what Jeff is saying.  If gethostbyname() fails,
then the returned hostent pointer will be NULL (and, in fact, it is).=20
If you try to dereference he->h_name, you should get a seg fault.  I any
event, you might want to make sure gethostbyname() works for your
hostname.  Something like this should work:

#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main(void) {
    char *host =3D "my.host.name";
    struct hostent *he;
    he =3D gethostbyname(host);
                                                                           =
    =20
    if (he =3D=3D NULL) {
        printf("he is NULL\n");
    }
    else if (he->h_name =3D=3D NULL) {
        printf("h_name is NULL\n");
    }
    else {
        printf("h_name is \"%s\"\n", he->h_name);
    }
                                                                           =
    =20
    return 0;
}
