Under Xp, and I havent got a 2000 system handy its under the tcp/ip network protocols of the dialup adapter. However if you mess around with it the wrong way the result can easily be no internet... Now forgetting the original subject as its more a matter of opinion whats best, there is a very good reason to use IP numbers where ever you can and where they arent changing. Many times I have had problems that some nameserver gets confused and if one specifies one's smtp and pop with the correct IP numbers instead of using some auto setting, one will find, as mentioned, increased speed as the nameserver doesnt have to be accessed to find the mail server. I have been in situations where the only way to get mail to / from my customers was to use known ip addresses. And, while for convenience I may not specify them in customers systems, the ones I likely will need are sitting on a printout above my desk.
