Re: [Htmlunit-user] UnknownHostException problem

[David D.K. <ddk...@ki...>]

Does "nslookup webcache" work?  I'm always distrustful of hostnames 
that aren't fully qualified.  It's usually a sign of a Windows network 
that is lacking proper DNS.  As far as I know, Java is going to attempt 
to lookup the hostname using DNS, as opposed to WINS.  The "nslookup" 
command will force Windows to resolve the hostname through DNS instead 
of WINS on your PC.
