The IP address 192.168.32.2 will therefore be keyed as the four "words" 192, 168, 32, and 2. Since some of these fall below the minimum word length, they will be ignored. However, you might look at the functions INET_NTOA() and INET_ATON() which convert between the string and 32-bit binary representations of an IP address. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/miscellaneous-functions.html Alec -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
