Hi<br>
<br>
I have my entry for authentication server as localhost and <a
href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> which is correct.<br>
<br>
Did you try my recommendation ? It worked for me !<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
I have my entry for authentication server as localhost and <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> which is
correct. However when wifidog starts it appears to be contacting an
external DNS server and trying to resolve that address and when it
can't it gives the error "cannot contact any auth servers." It appears
that wifidog doesn't attempt to contact the server listening on
localhost if it can't resolve the hostname externaly. This is what I
see in debug/foreground:<br>

<br>
<br>
Can anybody help me to work around this or am I doing something wrong?
I guess since it is using library resolver routines it will never look
inside of /etc/hosts ???<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
