[Dxbase] cluster setup

[Fred Handscombe]

Hello Alan

I have DXBase 2007 and Windows XP

I looked at my Hosts file and, like another poster, did not find VE1DXI

So I added ve1dxi.no-ip.com to my hosts file.  Once I finished I clicked on 
the empty line below then closed the Host window.

I was able to connect to VE1DXI by reselecting it in the appropriate menu. 
Note that even though it was added at the end of the list in the Host box it 
had then been sorted into the list in alphabetical order.

I then closed the connection, closed DXBase and reopened it.  VE1DXI was 
still selected and connected up again

I have not rebooted totally yet!
