gethotbyname error continued

[fjramsay1234 at hotmail.com (Frank Ramsay)]

It is hitting gethostbyname (I put in printfs to be sure sure) and I tried 
changing the sethostent(0) to sethostent(1) and it didn't help
BUT
I've discovered that it stops working on the 1022n'd call _every time_
(I removed the sleep in the main loop to get it to run faster) And that is 
very strange and I'm wondering if it's a bug in the library itself.
