I suppose this could be the reason for me being unable to access the soulseek 
and gnutella server as well downloading bittorrent links because they all 
depend on proper name resolution which is impossible on my machine. I 
installed mlnet on a router which still uses glibc 2.0.x, so any recent 
libnss* compiled against glibc 2.2.x won't work either, because that's the 
system I compiled mlnet on.

Are there any workarounds which I could use for name resolution? Or is the 
only possibility to upgrade my router distribution to be in sync with my 
compile system?

Thanks in advance
