Dom2 doesn't support DNS lookup, unfortunately, so your players will have to resolve the IP manually. This will actually somewhat limit your player selection, as an amazing number of people are unaware of how to perform such a feat. Then again, this may be a good thing.

*sigh* I miss the old days. Remember the good old days, back when people had to be smart to use a computer? You know, back when they hid the power switch in the back?

It's not about being smart, it's about learning stuff. 15-20 years ago, people had to learn a few things of how computers work in order to use them. But this is the Age of Gates, where people have been promised they could use computers without knowing the difference between a keyboard and a power switch.

These days, there are lots of people who want to become computer engineers, but are not interested in how a computer works or what programming it means. I know - these are my students.
