Is there any more info for this? I am getting the same error with LoadRunner / Load Generator 11.52 though the prohibited function is gethostbyname. The HP solution of the .asl file does not work for me because the location and the asl files mentioned do not exist on my load generators.
For disabling firewall are there any alternatives or specific holes that can be poked into the firewall instead of disabling. The load generators and controller are all in the same VLAN and my corporate IT tells me that all ports and everything should be open between them. Windows Firewall is not running on these machines.
Is there anything else I can check?
Thanks,
Scott
