Hello,

It appears that emacs uses the hosts table instead of the domain name
server.  We have one user case where all the other X-utilities work
fine, but for some reason emacs works in X-Windows mode only if the
DISPLAY environment variable has the numeric address instead of a name.

I am reporting this problem on behalf of the user.

Thank you.
