More about IP Addresses and Dot Notation

Dot-notation addresses ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" is a byte value from 0 to 255) must be expressed with care,
as most PC web software interprets byte values with leading zeros as octal (base 8) numbers. For example,
"192.168.020.011" is actually equivalent to decimal "192.168.16.9" because ".020" is interpreted as "16" expressed
in octal, and ".011" as "9". To avoid confusion, use only decimal values from 0 to 255, with no leading zeros.
