Can anybody here explain in a clear and simple manner how to convert IPV4 & IPV6 addresses to Binary code and perhaps back to IP addresses ?
Perhaps a bit tediously technical for here but...Converting Ip Addresses to Binary Code ?

Unless you actually care about how it's done rather than just having it done.
Converting to binary isn't that hard and plenty of resources can be found by a quick google search. No point doing it yourself though, plenty of online calculators.

Method one is the process I learned in school for Decimal to Binary.

More you do it the quicker it'll be, especially Binary to Decimal.

Decimal to Binary helps if you break it down into a chart.
Say, the number is 17 and you want the 8-bit binary for it.
Start with this chart, the order has to be right to left.
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
8-bit number is what we want, so we start from 1, and keep doubling eight spots, so we end up with 128.
Then you see if the numbers in the chart can fit in the conversion number.
So:
128 can't go into 17, so 0
64 can't either, so 0
32, again, 0
16, can, however, so we put a 1 there.
So we have 16 and our number is 17 for the conversion. So we need one more.
Right now we have 0001. For each instance you put a 1, you're going to include that number in addition.
So, like for right now, we have 16+...
Like I said, we need 1 here, so jump all the way to the last spot.
So, it would be 00010001
It's the 16th spot plus the 1st that gets us to 17.

Ok guys/gals, thank you. I think I have it now, both converting from decimal to binary and vice versa
