Your DNS is not configured or not responding.
mc does gethostbyname() on startup IIRC.
Check your /etc/resolv.conf
Try to do netstat -a or anything that resolves hostnames
If it freezes - it's your DNS configuration's fault.
mc is no exception as it uses gethostbyname().
Anyway, it's for mc-users rather than mc-devel, try there ...
