Hi,

>If I may ask you a follow up question, please. How to do you "translate" the IP in the URL to a descriptive name? For example, I was installing the app on another customer's server and they put the URL for the main page to be:

Yes. A browser (or whatever) has to be able to map the domain name ("somename.companyname.org") to a specific IP address and this is usually performed by DNS (Domain Name Servers). For the Internet http://www.internic.net/whois.html will show you the name servers for a specified domain name. Pinging a domain name will show the IP address in the results.
