Local Domain Name Entry for people with routers.
do you have a router and host lots of winbolo games? .... get tired of typing in your local IP everytime you want to join your own games (I sure did) if you don't want to type it in all the time. On windows XP simply open C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc in that folder there will be a file called "hosts" open it in notepad, and it will have something liek this in it
127.0.0.1 localhost
don't change that line, but on the next line type in
192.168.1.25 YourDNS
where 192.168.1.25 is the IP of your computer ..... if you have port forwarding enabled this won't be an issue. I just figured it was a useful tip
