  First thanks to Caleb Walker for responding to my earlier e-mail about this
problem.

  Unfortunatly I'm still running in to troube when trying to telnet to a host
using the hostname as a parameter.  If I use the IP of a machine telnet works
like a charm.  IF I use any hostname, even if it is "localhost" I get the
message

  <the hostname I used>: No address associated with hostname

  All the other clients that I use can use hostname's fine, ie ftp irc etc.

here is what I have in the following files (the most basic of setup)

resolv.conf
-----------
domain  vtacs.com
nameserver      208.138.112.20
nameserver      208.138.115.20
-----------

hosts
-----
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.vtacs.com
::1                     localhost localhost.vtacs.com e115025.vtacs.com
208.138.115.25          e115025.vtacs.com
-----

  Thanks for any help you could offer.
