What if I have a static IP from my ISP? Then I don't use DHCP, PPPoE, 
etc. and won't have that DNS info.

I may either need or prefer to use IPs in certain situations. If you 
don't allow me to define IPs I may perceive this as a barrier and I 
won't use your code.

Example: Excel can read and write 1-2-3 files, execute 1-2-3 macros 
and understands 1-2-3 keystrokes. This made Excel user friendly for 
established Lotus users.
