Just set the connection to use IPs as you would Linux it should just work. Without seeing the error that you are receiving we can't help you anymore. The most common reason why it doesn't is if you are using Kerberos auth. This is because DNS is a very important part of Kerberos auth and using IPs removes some of protection kerberos offers. It is still possible but I wouldn't recommend it at all.
