After an experiment on win2k is don't see any difference in the result
of gethostbyname(NULL) and gethostbyname(name_returned_by_gethostname).
Each returns a single struct hostent, which contain a list of ip
addresses.

How sure are you that the problem does not lie with the
gethostbyname(name_returned_by_gethostname) part? 

On my system everything works as expected: I get a list of all ip
addresses. That is with valid /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts entries. 

What systems go wrong?
