Describe the bug
The Host property of the Client mode for MCEC doesn't appear to work with an IP address. It's ok if I use a hostname.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'Settings'
- Click on 'Client'
- Enter an IP in the Host field - e.g. 192.168.1.100
- Click OK
- Observe the logging window - (see logs below)
Expected behavior
MCEC should connect to the server on the given IP address (and port)
Version Information
Include the first line from the log window, like this:
2022-12-08 13:54:19,537 INFO - MCE Controller v2.2.10.2 - OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22621.0 on x64 - .NET: 4.0.30319.42000
Snippets from the log
Include any other relevant logs (either copy/pasted from the MCE Controller window or from the log files found in %appdata%\Kindel Systems\MCE Controller which contain more debug info).

Desktop (please complete the following information):
MCEC is running on a DELL laptop, the Server is a TCP Server running on a Crestron control system (listening on 0.0.0.0:5150)
Additional context
I can workaround by adding a dummy host to my local hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts),
e.g.:
192.168.1.200 fakehost
And then use fakehost in the Host field.
