[NTLK] Setting up with a tracker

[Doctor Clu]

Tried extending the server address to www.unna.org and looked over the DNS settings.

With some adjustment of the DNS settings the tracker tries to look up a IP address for Unna.org, but disconnects on that search almost immediately.  But that is headway.

Right now the DNS settings are:

Configuration: Manual
Card:  Lucent
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Local IP 192.168.1.79
Gateway/Router Address:  192.168.1.254
Primary DNS/Name Server Address:  192.168.1.254
Domain Name: attlocal.net
