Hello all,

I am trying to write a simple test program that uses the Ethernet Interface.

I have written a simple server application (running on a Windows PC) and have the mbed connected to my home network.

sock.connect("192.168.001.005", 55555) works fine, but I want to be able to connect using the computers network name (which is "Upstairs").

when I try: sock.connect("Upstairs", 55555) it fails to connect.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Arthur
