yeah its a mystery to me how the xbox is able to resolve hostnames
into ip addresses.
DNS. You give the hostname of the backend in the setup for xbmcmythtv and it resolves that to an IP using DNS (i.e the router/firewall on your LAN should resolve the Xbox Hostname to the IP it gave it earlier when the XBox turned on and did a dhcp request)
That's y i think its just best to go with static ip's and put the actual ip address in rather than a host name. Your on a local network anyways aren't you?
Static IPs are good, but typing in Xbox instead of 192.168.1.100 is soooooooooooo much easier; heck, even mapping the MAC of the XBox to a DHCP IP addy and letting it always get the same dynamic IP addy works nice as well. Also works for the webserver in xbmc, just surf to http://xbox instead of http://192.168.1.100.
