It's windows - it does not have to be logical :)
I think that it depends what way it call's the IP resolution, and by
providing an IP address it skips a few stages?

( Just had great fun trying to restore a Win98 machine that had
corrupted it's Windows directory. I'd reinstalled Win98, but I could not
get it to set up TCP/IP even - until I installed a MODEM - which I did
not have as the site has been using a broadband router for the last two
