Can't connect using hostname (or if whitespace after IP)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter Hostname (instead of IP) in Address Field
2. Click Connect
3. Acknowledge failure

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to be able to connect to VNC server via host name. Also seems to
happen if there is any whitespace after an IP address is entered.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
A build of R12

Please provide any additional information below.
I've tried using a local computer name over Wi-Fi and also using a
homedns.org address over 3G. I get the same result with both. Immediately
comes back with connection error.

We should fix to accept hostname as well as IP address

VNC uses the standard android name resolution which appears to work fine over 
3G and
WiFi.  Sounds like the reporter is having specific DNS issues-- or perhaps 
firewall
issues.

I am having the same issues.

Using wifi with these settings:
address: 192.168.0.5
port:  5900
(192.168.0.5:5900)

Using this config it works fine... but...

When I change the ip address with the computer name:  aspire-xp
It fails to connect.
(aspire-xp:5900)

What am i doing wrong?
