TIdTcpClient Host

Hi all,

I would like to use TIdTcpClient to establish a connection to a server,
which is in the local Windows network. I tried to set the
TIdTcpClient.Host to '//DESKTOP' (the name of the server computer in the
Windows network), but it seems it does not work (TIdTcpServer.Host is
also set to '//DESKTOP'). With the IP given instead of network name
everything works well. Still, I'd prefer using the network names instead
of IPs. Is there any way to enable TIdTcpClient to work with those?

Regards,

Krzysztof Kozlowski
