Using server IP address

Post by Larkin »

When I try to put in the dotted IP address of a server, I get an error trying to lookup "server" as the hostname. Could Mudlet be fixed to properly handle IP addresses in place of hostnames? (This was on 1.2.0-pre6.)

Can you show screenshots/examples?

Most people do use direct server IP addresses for localhost and it works fine for them. Worked for me too when my phone tethering proxy couldn't resolve DNS but did work fine directly.

Huh. Turned out that the profile was just screwed up from doing copy/delete/new/edit a few times. Mudlet got confused on what address/profile I was using, and I couldn't tell that it was using the wrong thing. Clearing out my profiles and starting over made it connect properly with the IP address.
