I have a two computer network. Neither computer is running a DNS server. On
one computer, I have assigned multiple IP addresses to its network card (kind

on this computer and leave its DNS entry empty, when my client program
(running on the other computer, single network card, single ip address), the
client program can connect but each .net remoting call is slow. If I enter a
DNS server ip address on the remoting service computer and connect that
computer back into the company network and run the same test, it runs very
quickly (about 8 times faster). I have already manipulated the machineName
and bindTo properties of the tcpChannel on both the client and server. Can

the only calls use DNS so if DNS is absent it will take a while to find the
machines. can you use a HOSTS file?
