How to enable gethostbyname() API work in Emulator console app running?

[micojade]

I want to test an API such as gethostbyname which will need to enable the network lookup (either by hosts database file or DNS enabled), now I want to know how I should set up the emulator environment to enable the successful call of gethostbyname() API??

Please provide me any advices!! I am just a newbie to this.

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, Symbian has already addressed the gethostbyname() defect long before I guess, the problem I have is how to get gethostbyname() API to work well for name other than localhost(which always pass), such as www.apple.com, so what configurations or special file should I provide or do?
