RE: DNS'ing an IP_Address
I should be more specific..
I don't want to connect to a dynamic IP address..
I simply don't want my users to have to enter in a numeric address to
connect to. They should be able to enter the web address..
Like most Chat clients allow..
IE connect to Dalnet.com, not 123.4.etc.etc
