py2exe socket.gaierror (10093)

[Python Programming on Win32]

Hi,

I have encountered a problem which I can not figure out a solution
to.
Tried Googeling it, but to no help unfortunately.

The problem is running smtplib in a py2exe compiled exe file. When it
tries to establish a socket to the mail server it fails.

Just wondering someone has encountered this before, and if someone
might be able to point me in the right direction.

Unhandled exception in thread started by
Traceback (most recent call last):

socket.gaierror: (10093, 'getaddrinfo failed')


Thank you !
