  • rxsock under Ubuntu Trusty

    From Jaime Cruz@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 10 18:44:13 2017
    Have a question regarding Open Object REXX under Ubuntu 16.04. I wrote
    the following quick and dirty script:

    #!/usr/bin/rexx
    /* REXX */
    If RxFuncQuery('SockDropFuncs') Then
    Do
    Call RxFuncAdd 'SockLoadFuncs', 'rxsock', 'SockLoadFuncs'
    Call SockLoadFuncs
    End
    Say SockGetHostId()
    Call SockDropFuncs
    Exit

    I expected it to return 192.168.1.154, which is my IPv4 address on my
    home LAN. It works under Windows7, but when I try to run it under
    Ubuntu it always returns 127.0.1.1

    What am I doing wrong?

    My first port of call there would be /etc/hosts. There's probably an entry
    for 127.0.1.1 pointing to the host name of your local machine.

    BINGO!! That was it, thanks. I commented out that line and now it
    returns the proper IPv4 address.
