Proper hostname resolution should look in the hosts file before querying DNS. Try putting your hostname/ip address pair in your host file. I don't recall if windows will look there first, though. However, if you're getting your IP address via DHCP, this isn't going to work for you. Seconly, why

Chris, Clearly this is now an open topic, so... Do you have a good way to do this? Igor's suggestion seems sound and easily implementable, but short of some kind of cooperation from the sender (in the form of a tag of some sort that marks the end of the real content of their posting), it seems
