What DynaConnector ’95 does:
	DynaConnector automatically posts a file via FTP to a directory that 
everyone can access via the http protocol (the Web).  Included in this file is 
your IP Address, computer name and your host name.  Computer name being your 
NetBIOS computer name and the host name being your TCP/IP host name as 
specified in Win ’95 TCP/IP protocol.  While DynaConnector is FTP’ing your IP 
Address file to the remote server, it is also contacting the remote computers 
you have specified.  To contact the remote computers DynaConnector must first 
receive their IP Address file via the URL specified for that computer.  Once 
that file is received it tries to contact the computer at the IP Address 
specified in the IP Address file using port 4000.  If there is a connection 
and a positive authentication response on port 4000, DynaConnector on both 
computers add the IP Address and computer name of the remote computer in the 
LMHOSTS file.  And it places the IP Address, host name, and computer name (as 
an alias) of the remote computer to the HOSTS file.  Both Computers can now 
access shared network resources on the other computer (NetBIOS).  You can also 
contact that computer using WinSock applications at the host name of the 
remote computer or the remote computer name (NetBIOS name).  Example:  using 
WinTalk to chat with a remote user:  username@brian.com or username@brian.

   Right-clicking in the list box brings up a context menu to add users.  Add 
   the Computer name of the computer you want to connect to, and the URL to 
   the computer’s IP file.
9. Click the Refresh button to have DynaConnector immediately attempt to find 
   the remote computer and update the LMHOSTS and HOSTS file.
