Description Daniel Spiewak

I'm afraid the debugger won't start most of the time because the gethostname()
method or something like that returned an error that the resource was
temporarily unavalible.  It couldn't connect with the VM.  I've had this problem
on Win32 and Carbon as well and with 2.1 on linux additionally.  Never had a
problem with 2.0 on Win32 though.

Please provide more details. What error message do you receive?

Here's the actual error message it spits out to the Console.  Oh, one more
thing: This only happens when I'm offline.  This might not be a problem for
those of you blessed with an always on, but I'm not quite as lucky.

Error [11] in gethostbyname() call!
err:: Resource temporarily unavailable
Socket transport failed to init.
Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, rc = -1
FATAL ERROR in native method: No transports initialized

This looks like a TCP configuration problem.

Would you mind giving me a heads up on how to fix it?  I'm running RH 9 Eclipse
3 M5.  Incidentally, I actually had it working for a while with M1, but then it
inexplicably quit.  I might of reinstalled the OS somewhere in there, but I
always use the same configuration for the install.  So, any thoughts on how to
fix it?

Here's the hint from the referenced bug report - windows specific, but perhaps 
you can try the equivalent in linux:
