Description
The NET_NameToAddr command takes a host name or IP address and returns a unique long integer reference to the address.
hostName is the host name or IP address.
ip_Longint is a Longint value representing the IP address specified in the hostName parameter. All IP address strings can be converted to a signed Longint value.
While the ip_Longint value does not typically have a significant use, some developers may find this command useful to convert IP addresses into a more compact Longint format for data-storage.
