{
int i;
double num = 0;
if (IPaddress.ToString() == "")
{
return 0;
}
string[] arrDec = IPaddress.ToString().Split('.');
for (i = arrDec.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
num += ((int.Parse(arrDec[i]) % 256) * Math.Pow(256, (3 - i)));
}
return num;
}Example
IPAddress ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
double ipNumber = ipAddress.inet_aton();
