wxSocket on Mac - use of Hostname fails

[David Mathews]

Server is working on the mac, but trying to make a client connection  
is not.
With Windows, I'm passing the machine name as hostname (HPXP, etc)  
and the connections are being made without having to use the ip address.
I can only get a client connection to work with the ip dot notation,  
but these are not fixed, unlike the machine names.
Does the name need to be specified differently on the Mac to be able  
to make a client connection by name rather than by ip?
