Not sure, have you solved it or not?
Is your IP or name listed in /etc/hosts?
You might have to try writing a small C program to call "gethostbyname" and "gethostbyaddr" to track this down to see why telnet is failing.

endhostent_r
endhostent(3) Library Functions Manual endhostent(3)
NAME
endhostent, endhostent_r - Ends retrieval of network host entries
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <netdb.h>
void endhostent ( void );
[Tru64 UNIX] The following function is supported in order to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions of the operating sys-
tem. void endhostent_r (
struct hostent_data *host_data);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
endhostent(): XNS4.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
[Tru64 UNIX] For endhostent_r() only, this is data for the hosts database.
DESCRIPTION
The endhostent() function closes the network hosts database (either the local /etc/hosts file or one of the files distributed by BIND or
NIS), previously opened with the gethostbyaddr() or gethostbyname() function.
If the most recent sethostent() function has been performed with a nonzero parameter, the endhostent() function will not close the network
hosts database. In this instance, the database is not closed until a call to the exit() function. A second sethostent() function must be
issued with a parameter equal to 0 (zero) in order to ensure that a following endhostent() function will succeed.
NOTES
[Tru64 UNIX] The endhostent_r() function is the reentrant version of the endhostent() function. It is supported in order to maintain
backward compatibility with previous versions of the operating system. The netdb.h header file defines the hostent and hostent_data struc-
tures.
ERRORS
Current industry standards do not define error values for the endhostent() function.
FILES
Contains the local hostname database.
