What DynaConnector 95 does:
	DynaConnector automatically posts a file via FTP to a directory that 
everyone can access via the http protocol (the Web) or anonymous FTP.  
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 FTPing 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.

6. Fill in the directory on the FTP server to place the files.
7. Press the Apply button to have DynaConnector immediately FTP the file to

9. Click the Refresh button to have DynaConnector immediately attempt to find 
the remote computer and update the LMHOSTS and HOSTS file.
