RE: [OT] Who can explain this address scheme?

[John_G_Taylor]

I have seen this before.  How I worked it out was by using the good old
Samspade.  It will interpret the address for you.  The other way is
something along the lines of convert it to hex, then to decimal and then to
IP (I'm not sure on this so don't quote me)

you certainly have a zealous ping and/or network libs. What OS are you
running?
the thing works on all systems that inherited the BSD inet_aton, and this
includes
windows.
