> @vieiro problem, which causes these failures on jdk8 is, that `macos-13` does not correctly resolve it's own hostname (see my [comment](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/544#issuecomment-2220418158) higher). I have tried to work-around this issue by modifying `/etc/hosts` ( see: https://github.com/zzambers/jdk8u-dev/commit/53cac798f4615ad414e7a7eb2bd5706b86fce67b ), and it [fixed](https://github.com/zzambers/jdk8u-dev/actions/runs/9860081409/job/27226368604) most of the tests. You can try equivalent on jdk11 to see, to verify, if you face the same issue.

Hi  @zzambers , @jerboaa 
The [/etc/hosts](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u-dev/commit/3ac6cd6165b4779290f23f260ce5aee0bc392c49) fix does indeed work. I think this is related to https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/8649
