smtpmail.smtpserver question

Greetings
I hope this is the correct newsgroup. I am working on a senior project
for school. One of the requirement is to have the functionality of send
email reminders from our web application. No problem we thought. We
set the value of smtpserver in the web.config file. That way we could
develop on campus and when we went out to the company that was actually
going to use this product we could just change the key in the web.config.
Well they only knew the ip address 107.334.55.6 or something like that.
Well that part of the application bombed. I have been looking for a
while now and the only examples I can find are using a string such as
"mail.uwsp.edu" or something. Is there anyway to use the ip address of
the machine hosting the smtp server?
Thanks
BobIP should be fine. That IP is wrong though.
107.334.55.6 is not a valid IP (note that 334 is the bad part. IP's are
0-255)
I suggest you check it again.
UWSP huh? That's where I am (Stevens Point that is) :}

PS I just made up the ip address I can not remember the one the company
gave us.

Just let me know if it works, or what the issues still is/are.
Nope, no trivia... this year I wasn't able to get all the guys together...
