nc -v XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 80
I get the following result:
nc: forward host lookup failed: h_errno 11001: HOST_NOT_FOUND
I don't get it. Is netcat trying to lookup an IP address when I've
already supplied one? Also, very very infrequently, the connection
succeeds, so I know that my syntax is correct, but 99% of the time
this is the error message I get. This seems to be the simplest of
netcat commands, and I can't get off of the ground even with this.
Help!

Use telnet (without -v) for testing, since netcat has bad error reporting.

Top 100 things you don't want the sysadmin to say:
0. I just made an extra 2 meg of space in /, I stripped /vmunix.
Oh, so that's why ps doesn't work.

I did this. Telnet works while netcat does not. Any thoughts?

Netcat will try to resolve an address anyway, except if you use the
modifier -n, RTFM or nc -h ;-)
A lot of tools have the same behaviour.
