    Question IPAddress Class [RESOLVED]

    In VB6, I used to be able to create an IP address string from a long value by using the following statement/API call:

    Code:
    lpStr = inet_ntoa(lngAddress)
    Then I would read the string from the pointer returned to get the IP address in dotted quad format.

    I am trying to port this to VB.NET using the following code:

    Code:
    Dim oIP As New IPAddress(lngAddress) 
strData = oIP.ToString
    Usually this works, sometimes not. For example, if lngAddres = -156482353 (msn.com), I get the following exception: "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

    Anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong? The old API way returned the proper value = 207.68.172.246.
