DNS Lookup errors with urllib

[Etienne Labuschagne]

When using urllib's urlretrieve, I get an exception complaining that a DNS
lookup failed. The name does however resolve when using ping and the
internet browser.

The name is also hard-coded in windows 2000's hosts file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Etienne
