Hi!Pleaseanyone who can answer my question!!

Do you know how I can construct an InetAddress object in Java using the IP-address of a host in the format :

e.g. 176.101.102.67

There is no way to do that in the java.net.InetAddress API.

I have to use the host name as a String or the ip address

as a byte array, but 147 for example exceeds the limits

of the MAX_VALUE for a byte.

Thank you very much!!

I don't think there is a way to get the ip address as an array of bytes(to be used to create a InetAddress object using getByAddress(byte[] b)) other than using the byte[] getAddress() method.


InetAddress inet = InetAddress.getByName("www.sun.com");
System.out.println(inet.getHostName()); 
System.out.println(inet.getHostAddress()); 
InetAddress inet2 = InetAddress.getByAddress(inet.getAddress());
System.out.println(inet2.getHostName()); 
System.out.println(inet2.getHostAddress());
