This is the problem with RealFlight G2 (as far as multiplayer is concerned)...
Inorris - i understand what you are saying with unix/linux. i too agree that it is the best for stability. i am just wishing for a dedicated server, not perfection (which i know would be impossible for the greatplanes/knifeedge team). sorry to bag on the team but they have some bugs that need to be worked on. i am not familiar with how g2 handles name resoluition, but i do know bf1942, counter-strike and a lot other games will do it. you just type in the name in where it asks for the server ip.
