Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0            |   Component:  asio          
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0            |    Severity:  Problem       
 Keywords:  ASIO hostname resolve   |  
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 When using BOOST ASIO

 "Exception: Host not found (authoritative)"

 I get this message when trying to connect to localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the
 actual local machine's hostname.  This happens when the machine is not
 connected to a network of any kind.  Connecting it to a wired or wireless
 network fixes the problem.

 I am running Ubuntu 8.0.5.1 (kernel 2.6.24-21).  I thought it might be a
 problem with Ubuntu - but I am able to ping localhost, 127.0.0.1, and the
 machine's own hostname while disconnected from networks.
