+Add that line, and XEmacs will be happy.  If your network is unreliable,
+such as a Wifi network, you may experience delays but eventually XEmacs
+starts up.  This may be due to having the lookup order give precedence
+to DNS over the hosts file (often lookup order is defined in one of the
+files @file{/etc/host.conf}, @file{/etc/nsswitch.conf}, or
+@file{/etc/resolv.conf}, depending on OS).  See your system
+documentation for this configuration.  Note that changing the lookup
+order is a workaround; there are good reasons to have DNS come earlier
+by default.  Make sure those reasons are less important to you than a
+quick XEmacs startup.
