Those *are* normal internet (IPv4) addresses. Do you mean you want to reverse-resolve these into hostnames? Any standard DNS tool (probably either 'host' or 'dig', depending on how much information you want) can do this. Of course, there's no guarantee any particular IP address will reverse-resolve. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
