Define hostname/IP for File Transfers


First of all, I'd like to say, that Kopete is the 
 greatest MSN client for Linux that i've tried :) 
 
 But there is still one thing that I really need...
 
 Many people are unable to send files with MSN(Kopete, 
 Gaim, Windows Messenger, and many more) because of the 
 nature of their internet connection. I for example can't. 
 
 AMSN is the only MSN client that I know of that I am 
 able to send files with. Because it offers a few 
 options for getting your IP for File Transfers. There 
 is an option to automatically get the IP by using http. 
 This would ofcourse be the most conveniant option, but 
 it didn't work in my case(don't know why), but maybe 
 you could implement a working copy of it. Then there's 
 the option to manually define a hostname/ip. I have an 
 IP that changes from time to time, but I have a dynamic 
 hostname(dyndns.org) which I can define in AMSN, so I 
 never have to touch the setting again. I think this is 
 a really important feature! 

BTW, I have already posted this on the Sourceforge Projectpage, but copied it here \
because I didn't get a response :P
