It is bug-feature I think. As I understand it is dns resolving problem. mc try to resolve local ips. You may put it into /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.2 myhostname
Yeah, i always saw this on unusual installed DNS environments. Mostly the time when the machine hostname could not be solved by local DNS, either from an real DNS-Server or via /etc/hosts. So for dhcp-based IP-setting (and the crappy router/box don't resolve the hostname when the lease is provided) i would assume to put the hostname as an alias on the localhost line in /etc/hosts. Ideally there would be a command line parameter to disable all network related checking for mc... Gerhard
