gethostbyname in GoAhead

[Nick.SIMON at syntegra.bt.co.uk]

Thanks, Chris.  I suppose this means GoAhead will see itself as 127.0.0.1 -
does this matter?  Or should I put my 'proper' name and IP address in?  

(This IMFS makes a big difference to RTEMS - I can see my mindset will have
to change!)


Many thanks,
