Summary: test_socket fails when not connected

Initial Comment:

Should test_socket require the network resource
be enabled?  It only works for me when I'm
connected (Running an old slackware linux).
This is true of both CVS and 2.2 python

When not connected testHostnameRes fails because
getfqdn() returns my hostname, 'zazz', but
gethostbyaddr(ip) returns the hostname 'localhost'.
When I am connected getfqdn() also returns
'localhost' so there's no problem.  It could be
fixed for me by either requiring the network
resource or changing line 234 of test_socket from:
all_host_names = [hname] + aliases
to:
all_host_names = [hname, hostname] + aliases

Or maybe my machine's setup is just messed
up in which case I trust you'll close the bug.
