Hello again, Uh_Clem,

I just saw your post so I downloaded the test version and, yes, it solves the problem.

BOINC uses a couple of open-source libraries called cURL and c-ares to do its network communications. The difference between BOINC 6.10.36 and earlier versions of BOINC is that we upgraded to cURL version 7.19.7 and c-ares 1.7.0 for the newer release. The test build that worked for you and others was the same BOINC code but reverting to cURL 7.19.4 and c-ares 1.6.0.

cURL version 7.20.0 was recently released. Since we have not been able to reproduce your problem with resolving hostnames, it would be a great help to us to know if the new version of cURL has solved your problem. If so, we would upgrade to the new cURL for future releases of BOINC.

I've posted another experimental version of BOINC 6.10.36, this time using cURL 7.20.0, here. Would you be kind enough to try it and report back here whether it works for you?

Thanks in advance for your help.
