[HM] Re: X and networking question

[Barry Lyden]

This assumes, of course, that your addresses remain the same over time 
(as in static addresses). In my house, I use DHCP and resets and 
poweroffs cause new ip addresses to be issued from the router, so 
sometimes I see stale addresses in the connect to server dialogue until 
the mac successfully scans the network again.
