Converting IPAdress from String to Long

[ThePentiumGuy]

This has been pissing me off since 3 days ago.... why does .NET bithc when you do:

Dim EndPoint as new IPEndPoint("127.0.0.1", portnumber)

It says cannot convert String to Long , and understandably so. Now howabout a workaround on this dillemma .

Net.IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1")

Helped a lot. Thanks. I got some primative client-server action going on ("Open forum chat" - its all just StreamReader/StreamWriter and it works locally (I dont have internet on my computer so I cant test remote chat)).

Thanks,
