> Hello. I was reading your FAQ on Java security. In it, you state that a socket can only be open by giving its full hostname and that an IP address doesn't work. I've had no problems opening a socket to a server using the IP address. So, I'm curious to know which is incorrect, the documentation, the java source, or am I doing something wrong?
