Title: Network addresses Post by RemoteBloke on Jan 18th, 2006, 2:58am Hi.. Firstly, nice product, very impressed... But... Is there an option to use a "name" instead of an IP address? My "remote" computer is on a dynamic dialup, but has dyndns so I can find it when it's on. At the moment it's a pain pinging it to find it's IP, then entering that into NPSK. Is there a way to us the name and let DNS sort it out? I also read somewhere on another thread, something to do with an aplication interface DLL? Do tell more, as that sounds even more usefull... Cheers. The RemoteBloke. |

Title: Re: Network addresses Post by RemoteBloke on Jan 26th, 2006, 5:39am Hi again... Bit more testing done... Yes the new version (Beta) does handle dotted web names as "addresses" just fine. Thanks. ;D It also is quite happy, traveling over a SSH link between two PC's, both ends effectively connecting to 127.0.0.1 In this instance, the SSH link involves Cygwin at one end, and PuTTY at the other. Bit of a faff, but it works well. Is there any posibility of re-instating the "port handshake wiring" feature of the earlier version, as that was quite useful, for using older bits of instrumentation and other strange hardware. Cheers again. Dave the RemoteBloke |
