Synopsis: InetAddress.getLocalHost() returns "localhost/127.0.0.1"

Description: 
This bug is found in JDK1.1.1 and JDK1.1.2 in STANDALONE apps:

InetAddress.getLocalHost() returns "localhost/127.0.0.1" although
the machine is registerd at the DNS and has a fixed IP (not modem
connected). The problem occures only under Solaris 2.4. On
2.5 all the method fine. This problem does NOT occur under JDK1.1.0
and Solaris 2.4.

Similar symptom also seen with JDK 1.1.3 on a SC2000E running Solaris 2.5.1.

When running same applet on other machines, everything works allright,  the
problem appears only on the above mentionned machine...
