[REQUEST] allow host name entries instead of just IP addresses in COMMS
-
Hi folks,
how hard would it be to allow the user to enter proper hostnames instead of just a dotted quad (numerical IP address) in the comms phonebook / connection screen?
This already works fine in the dedicated IVC server connection information, so it might be trivial to implement for the server name / ip, too.
Background: Many folks use dyndns services these days which update their IP automatically, and it would be much easier and less error prone to be able to communicate a proper hostname for the connection than just ip addresses.
Thanks Uwe

yeah its something I was going to look into a long time back before the new network code was added but never got round to looking at it I may take another look

Another use case would be ipv6 support.
