Connecting with a name rather than the IP address.
« on: February 19, 2008, 07:35:49 PM »
Hi,
  We wish to connect to a server application using the 'name' rather than its ip address as the destination is using a dynamic ip address.
  We are using TCP sockets.
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil

Try NetBios: http://www.utasker.com/forum/index.php?topic=107.0
I have used this already in a couple of projects and it makes life much easier.
