+Summary: TcpClient.Connect work with hosts, but not with IP's as string
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Hi, i have a little tool in windows and now i wana use that in linux. It
+uses relativ simple TCP/IP
+
+The TcpClient doesn't behave like in Microsoft.Net framework, nor your
+documentation:
+
+public TcpClient Conntect(string ip)
+{
+return new TcpClient(ip,5669);
+}
+throws an Socketexception, the host would be unkown (the stacktrace says u
+try to resolve an ip, but on this call it should be posible to give a host
+or an ipaddress... with every ipaddress is an Exception thrown.
+
+Same problem here:
+public TcpClient Conntect(string ip)
+{
+TcpClient client = new TcpClient(ip,5669);
+ client.Connect(ip,5669);
+return client;
+}
+
+If somebody wants to Connect to an IP instead of an host (symbolic name) he
+has to do that:
+
+public TcpClient Conntect(string ip)
+{
+TcpClient client = new TcpClient(ip,5669);
+client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse(ip),5669);
+return client;
+}
+
+Well the other two should do the same thing, Instead of throwing an Exception. 
+
+Greets and Regards
+
