[FX.php List] [OFF] Windows shortcut to FM9 hosted file

[Bob Patin]

They both will work equally reliably; if you have a domain name  
assigned to that particular server (as I do here), they work just as  
well, and are less prone to error. Also, if the IP addresses should  
ever have to be changed, as with a change of ISP, you don't have to  
alert all the users.
