I can't for my life see whats wrong with clicking on a numeric link?
A domain-name doesn't really tell you anything, does it?
The only difference is that you save a DNS-lookup...
But the fun part, is that
http://24.115.55.47:8080 contains the following:
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;
http://localhost:8080/JHackerAppManager">
so you don't get any further anyway.
This will take the "daring" ones to where the OP probably wanted us
to go:
http://24.115.55.47:8080/JHackerAppManager/
*Sorry*, I am running a Tomcat App Server off of my machine. Will move
to an ISP add buy a domain Name when I am finished building my site. So
I do not have my own domain name yet, hence the IP address. Why spend
any money for development when I do not have to.
I did not think that clicking on an IP address would make people *knees
shake*.
Yes, it is really pointing to
http://24.115.55.47:8080/JHackerAppManager/. That just so happens to be
the name of my product. It is a 'Windows XP SP 2 Firewall Audit
Application'.
It was just by *chance* that the Product name and clicking on an "IP
address link" where mixed together to make people think about their own
security concerns.
If any of you did have a security concern then I think that you better
start look around for software to protect your machine.
I personally would hate to have that feeling of not going to a link
address because of my security concerns. Kinda takes away the freedom of
the Internet..
But then this email is getting way out-of-scope for my initial reason
for posting my link, That is, GUI design. I use a mixture of LAF's with
the main structure being "Goodies Forms". I do have screenshots there
for the people who know their own security strength and weakness issues
to take the journey.
Sorry, I just thought of something funny...LOL
I noticed the author of the
http://www.jgoodies.com/ Products, Karsten
Lentzsch has posted to this thread. I just wanted to thank him for all
of his products and guidance by his web site. I only hope I do his forms
justice, in his eyes.

Thanks in Advance...
