The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Surely this is a typo. If the IP address was 10.20.30.40 (for
example), how
would I get the IP address into a BINARY(4) field?
One is a character representation of a number and the other is a
number. Each part of a dotted decimal address will, when converted to
a number, fit in 1 byte (i.e., 0 to 255) and therefore four of them
will fit in four bytes.
The standard way of doing this is to use a socket support API:
o inet_addr()
or (if supplied)
o inet_aton()
or (preferred)
o inet_pton()
