InetAddress

[Linus]

I don't understand how to set a InetAddress variable with an IP address like

InetAddress ip = 192.168.0.1;

I thik it's some kind of syntax error.
Thanks to everyone who'll help me.

There is a fundamental syntax error in your code. It is such an
error, that it might be a better idea for you to start from the
Java tutorial: <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/>.

It has no public constructor, so you have to call one of InetAddress's
static factory methods (a method that makes instances of InetAddress).
In this case, I think you want:

InetAddress ia = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.1");

InetAddress ip = 192.168.0.1;

A little off topic but making this syntax legal would be a nice
enhancement of the JDK 1.5 autoboxing facility IMHO ....

The InetAddress class is a little unusual in that it doesn't have any
public constructors. Instead you pass the host name or string format of
the dotted quad address to the static InetAddress.getByName() method
like this:

try {
InetAddress utopia = InetAddress.getByName("utopia.poly.edu");
InetAddress duke = InetAddress.getByName("128.238.2.92");
}
catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
