VB code that download from website software updates

17
Hi all,

Our company has an application that are installed on our clients computer,
when the client wants to check for updates he click the update button from his installed application.

here is the problem: the download works fine but it's using a specific i.p. address, which is our webserver. it's hard coded i.p. address like 192.61.80.01
we would like to make the download more general and use the url instead of hard coded i.p. address, meaning to use www.ourUrl.com.

any idea how to implement that or any guidance will be appreciated.

WIthout code we can't really help you much. No one knows if you are using ftp or http. I would expect you could simply substitute the url for the IP address provided the URL is owned by you, is valid and registered with Network Solutions (or one of the other Internet Assignment bodies).
