Please provide the copystack. Anyhow, IPSocketAddress >>>hostAddressByName: aString will return nil if passed '*' The only way that I can tell that may be happenning is here: Swazoo.SwazooSocket class>>> ipAddressFor: aDNSOrIPAddressString "return an IPAddress (in array format) from string. String can be in number or DNS format" | isIPAddress address stream | isIPAddress := aDNSOrIPAddressString detect: [:ch | ch isAlphabetic] ifNone: [true]. isIPAddress := isIPAddress = true. isIPAddress ifTrue: [address := ByteArray new: 4. stream := aDNSOrIPAddressString readStream. address at: 1 put: (Integer readFrom: (stream upTo: $.) readStream); at: 2 put: (Integer readFrom: (stream upTo: $.) readStream); at: 3 put: (Integer readFrom: (stream upTo: $.) readStream); at: 4 put: (Integer readFrom: stream upToEnd readStream). ^address] ifFalse: [^IPSocketAddress hostAddressByName: aDNSOrIPAddressString] -------------------- For some reason , in your case , it must be that the character $* is alphabetic, if it were not you would fall into the true block but as per your comments you seem to be falling into the false block which will certainly generate an error. I am also assuming that this is where you crash i.e. given that you were running the SmallWiki.ServerTests. So I have not really done much with locales, so this is a wild guess, can it be that in your case $* isAlphabetic? What do you get if you evaluate the following in a workspace: $* isAlphabetic -Charles On Wed, 15 Sep 2004 13:32:08 +0200, Annick Fron <Annick_Fron_AFC@compuserve.com> wrote: > I ran the Smallwiki.ServerTests suite, and I have 2 failures, on the > hostAddressByName I get a nil with name '*'. > Probably this is a system configuration issue, since I don't have a DNS. > How can I do ? > > Le 14 sept. 04, à 18:28, Sebastian Sastre a écrit : > >> >> Mydyndns are redirecting all ports to your host?
