A
Java class representing an
IP address. Has no
public constructors. If you want to lay your hands on an
object you'll have to use the
getAllByName,
getByName, or
getLocalHost methods. These
throw UnknownHostException
Java 1.0 had a problem with getting a
host name from an IP address - you could use
InetAddress.getByName("206.02.56.122")
but the InetAddress would insist that this is the hosts name.
