no, you haven't. I used the code in a network with fixed IP's and no
DHCP running. Right here using NetNameResolver works just fine. If you
doIt:

(NetNameResolver addressForName: 'aComputersName') inspect

you should get an Inspector on a ByteArray with the IP address.

Hmmm, I was expecting to get an inspector on a ByteArray, but what I actually got was an inspector on SocketAddress. Something is obviously not quite right here! :-)
