So far i've been able to store ip addresses as strings like you would type them in DOS, for ex, '192.168.0.1'. This serves me great since my application uses IP addresses as strings in all cases. I've done queries with the IP column , for example, select office_name from table_1 where ip='10.100.1.1'; and have never had any problems. However, if you plan on sorting based on this column, strings with periods do not behave correctly, and the answers to my previous question on this list do not apply; it makes a good aproximation, though.
Hope this helps, but I must admit I am not sure if this answers your question. An example in the mysql console would be great for clearing up your objetive.

I have a full index index on a table and on of the fields is a number field (IP Address). Can MySQL search for numbers??
