Some questions issued by the DNews installer, such as "What is the TCPIP
name of this computer", are not so easy to answer when the DNews server
is on a DMZ net behind a NAT router that is forwarding nntp connections.

In my particular case, the actual DNews machine doesn't even have a global
TCPIP name outside of the NAT network.  I'd like to reply "localhost"
to the installer; but, I suspect that might not be what the installer
is looking for.
