Comment (by pulkomandy):
getaddrinfo on a static IP should work without needing to query anything
on the network. For this to work, the AI_NUMERICHOST flag should be set
and the IP address should be in numeric form (no DNS query needed in that
case).
In the case of BNetworkAddressResolver, this maps to the
B_NO_ADDRESS_RESOLUTION flag.
This flags seems to be missing in {{{InterfaceAddressView.cpp:347:
address.SetTo(string.String());}}}. It is set properly in
{{{IPAddressControl.cpp:81: bool success = address.SetTo(fFamily,
Text(), (char*)NULL,
}}}. I don't see other calls to BNetworkAddress::SetTo from a quick glance
at the network preferences.
Just adding the flag in InterfaceAddressView would fix the problem, then.
