      addrs.ToList().ForEach(delegate(IPAddress i) { Console.WriteLine(i.ToString()); });

Results in:

output for 1111:

output for 255255255255:

[edit]
I added a check for a="0" and you could add more checks under each loop to see if the remaining string count will be too long. It will save a few cpu cycles, but it will work the same.

That's awesome. I have been breaking my head with this.

Thanks again.

Yea, your post was pinged by one of the best.... Now mark as solved and give sknake some +rep for his work.

Do your own homework.

I'm about tired of you. Do us all a favor and get banned again. Thanks.

Seriously... -rep for answering a question just because you refuse to? Get over yourself.

Why don't you do yourself a favor and start charging money to do people's homework for them.

Rashakil,

That is unfounded speculation. While I think it very well could be if I played by your rules that is a -rep offfense.
