IPalt converts a dotted IPv4 address to a dotless one and vice-versa. In intranet, member area or extranet, it makes sense to hide the client's IP in different log files at server side, client side or on the route (ISP, Gateway, etc), whatever be the protocol in use (HTTP, FTP, NNTP, Telnet, etc.). For this, use of a dotless IP makes things less directly readable than using a dotted one or an explicit domain name. E.G. : fictive FFh Lab's public ftp server at ftp.ffh-lab.com would has the IP 65.39.129.196 (found with ping.exe) which is the equivalent of the dotless IP 1093108164 (found with IPalt). Then, unless if blocked or unresolvable, you could reach this FTP site using "ftp.exe 1093108164" at DOS prompt, or "ftp://1093108164" in Opera, Netscape or Mozilla. Thus, if you're a webmaster or network admin, you should be able to provide a link like stuff
