I'm not sure I follow what Jeff is saying.  If gethostbyname() fails,
then the returned hostent pointer will be NULL (and, in fact, it is). 
If you try to dereference he->h_name, you should get a seg fault.  I any
event, you might want to make sure gethostbyname() works for your
hostname.  Something like this should work:

#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main(void) {
    char *host = "my.host.name";
    struct hostent *he;
    he = gethostbyname(host);
                                                                                
    if (he == NULL) {
        printf("he is NULL\n");
    }
    else if (he->h_name == NULL) {
        printf("h_name is NULL\n");
    }
    else {
        printf("h_name is \"%s\"\n", he->h_name);
    }
                                                                                
    return 0;
}
