If the DNS can not resolve it then the Novell implementation of Winsock probably
does not support IP address resolution with GetHostByName.  Try using the host
name instead of the IP address.  Older versions of the windows version of
Winsock (pre Winsock 2.0) would also not resolve an IP address when sent to
GetHostByName which gds32 uses to resolve the host part of the connection
string.
