     Are you by any chance running on a sun?  On some (all?) sun machines
   you need to link emacs with -lresolv or it won't be able to contact
   your nameserver.  Try getting the URL:

Another work around is to grab the tcp.el from GNUS (or just make sure
it is loaded) and use the tcp program too to define your own
open-network-stream. I've used this technique when I've not had
control over the Emacs binary (eg. Lucid Emacs precompiled binary for
Sun didn't used to be linked with -lresolv)
