    1515 The ability to use domain names instead of plain IP addresses is a big usability leap forward and also an expected standard in todays operating systems. For future prospects and also for the use in simulators such as Qemu and !VirtualBox, it is also good to be able to get the network configuration via DHCP. In any case, the user should be given a chance to modify the configuration manually using some sort of a utility.
