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?

Quote: I tried to set the TIdTcpClient.Host to '//DESKTOP' You cannot do that. The Host must be a DNS name, not a UNC name. If the machine name is 'Desktop', and if you can ping 'Desktop' on the command line, then just remove the slashes. Othersise, you have to specify the actual DNS name that the machine is know as by TCP.

Quote: You should use \\ instead. That is not valid for TCP, either. That is a UNC convention. UNCs do not apply to TCP. Do not use slashes at all when working with TCP.
