Human readable DhcpInfo.ipAddress?

Question

I am wondering how to get a human readable IP Adress from DhcpInfo.ipAddress? The tricky thing about it is, that it is an integer and obviously you can\'t store an IP address in

Answer 1

As mentioned by other posters, an ip address is 4 bytes that can be packed in to one int. Andrey gave a nice illustration showing how. If you store it in an InetAddress object you can use ToString() to get the human readable version. Something like:

byte[] bytes = BigInteger.valueOf(ipAddress).toByteArray();
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByAddress(bytes);
String s = address.ToString();
