Re: Simple SRV lookup?

After digging I found the answer. Turns out Microsoft's gethostname function
is VERY messed up. I had to add -lws2_32 to the gcc command line and the
following code to initialize things in main:

#if defined (_WIN32) && ! defined (__CYGWIN__)
  WSADATA p;
  WSAStartup ((2<<8) | 2, &p);
#endif

Thanks,
