The source code for a Python program (The language not the snake.)  that will fetch the
dotted decimal IP address of a website of your choice and convert it in to a valid 32 bit  
one as show in the other write-ups. You will need Python and the module found at  
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/111286 to get it to run. I hope you
 find this useful (This may not be the best way to do it Im still learning python. :-)

There may be are formatting errors sorry about that, Im new to Everything.

DotDecto32bithelp = """ This was written mainly to see if I could however
it does have a practical application, it converts
dotted decimal IP address's (64.233.183.103) in
to 32-bit decimal format (1089058663) which can
be used as a valid internet address (In this case Google).

The main reason you would want to do this would
be to get past censorship programs on school,
library or workplace computers.

go to http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=IP%20address
or http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=951857&lastnode_id=0

Im am indebted to Drew Perttula for creating the
module BaseConvert (which funnily enough is used to
covert between bases.)

Note: If you wish to find out the IP address of
a website on a windows operating system go to
start > all programs > Accessories > Command prompt
then type: nslookup [web site who’s IP address you want]

The program will now print out the Google 32-bit
address run it again to find a diffrent 32-bit
address, I hope this program is usefull to you.

Update: this program will now (attempt) to fetch the
IP address from a website you give it, be warned however
this is far from stable.
