           Summary: Host resolution from /etc/hosts fails when wifi
                    disconnected (all kde apps get unknown host).
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: knetwork
        AssignedTo: thiago kde org
        ReportedBy: james albanarts com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33) didn't compile kde \
                with this compiler, got from fedora repository
OS:                Linux

I have a local webserver and a number of host names set up in /etc/hosts which go to \
127.0.0.1. These are resolvable by all network programs until I disconnect my wifi (I \
use network manager, nm-applet). All these hosts are then inaccessible to kde \
programs until the wifi is reconnected. konqueror says "unknown host", kwrite has a \
similar error and can't open them either. kde programs can resolve "localhost" (and \
"127.0.0.1"), but can't resolve any other host names in /etc/hosts while the wifi is \
disconnected. Non-kde web browsers can resolve these host names fine (e.g. firefox, \
opera, ping, wget).

Konqueror doesn't print anything to stdout/stderr.

I've searched the bug db and couldn't find anything matching this problem.
