+As the stack trace shows, there is nothing to do with the runtime.
+When it comes to System.Configuration, what matters here is 1)your
+config file 2) how you run your code (from a standalone executable,
+web forms, web services, embedded environment etc.).
+
+The code below works (on my box), so Dns.GetHostEntry() should usually
+work.
+
+using System;
+using System.Net;
+
+public class Test
+{
+        public static void Main ()
+        {
+                Dns.GetHostEntry ("127.0.0.1");
+                Dns.GetHostEntry ("www.google.com");
+        }
+}
