Thus the first byte is multiplied by 256*256*256, the second by 256*256 the third by 256 and the last is not multiplied at all. Add these up and then try and connect to it using that number. 66.38.151.10 = 66 * 256 * 256 * 256 + 38 * 256 * 256 + 151 *256 + 10 = 1109825290 Can then connect to this as http://1109825290 apparantly that'll skip past a number of validators which check against IP and 'name' (Or you could just use an IP-to-DWORD calculator such as that on http://www.fichtner.net/tools/ip2dword/ More info: http://www.pc-help.org/obscure.htm ) -- Ed Rolison System Administrator
