If you are having trouble with DNS lookup, you might try pinging the
server using the server name to obtain the ip address, then insert the ip
address in place of the server name. Under NT/95 the address will be
pinged 3 times. If the latency is really bad just keep trying till you
get a reply. Example command(insert server as appropriate):
ping reuters.com
The ip address will look something like 111.111.111.111
In this case you would replace the reuters.com with 111.111.111.111
providing the software you are using permits it, of course.
Cheers,
Jim
PS: You must do this from the command line.
