Hi,

I have a session in a machine with solaris 8

# telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...

# telnet name_machine 80
Trying 10.95.5.34...
Connected to name_machine.
Escape character is '^]'.

Why is it OK when I use the name of the machine and not with localhost?

When I use #telnet localhost port, where port isn't 80 it's OK again.
It seems to depend on the port, but on the other hand it's is OK with
the same port and using the name of the machine

Regards,

Adolfo
