Comment 5 for bug 1491290

One easy way is to start up a server on the LAN, then use the computer name (as seen in system properties; Windows+Pause) in place of the IP address. The patch works for local PCs too. :)

Title:
  Add support for domain names in multiplayer

Status in Open Rails:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently in multiplayer mode domain names (such as
  openrails.example.com) aren't supported, only IP addresses. It seems
  like Open Rails isn't querying any DNS servers at all; a call to
  Dns.GetHostAddresses (http://bit.ly/1fUALuB) should fix this.
