Hi Dennis,
I fished this out of the archive... It was a discussion we had about
two months ago. It gets a little convoluted, but it does properly
change the IP address. system/network/host-address doesn't change
when you get your new IP address, reading dns:// does.

You can also use the DNS protocol, though going direct to the system
object is quicker:
To get the hostname:
>>print read dns://
sarnoff
To get the IP address:
(This is the same as doing: print read dns://sarnoff)
>>print read rejoin [ dns:// read dns:// ]
206.191.108.253
To get the FQDN:
(This is the same as doing: print read dns://206.191.108.253)
>>print read rejoin [dns:// read rejoin [dns:// read dns://] ]
