When using ip2long, it will return a int in network byte order, not host byte order.  Although the combination of ip2long and long2ip will work correctly together, the use of ip2long on an x86 system will return a value that will not work as a URL.

For instance, 192.168.0.1 translates to 16820416 which, if fed into a browser in the form of:

http://16820416/ will attempt to connect to 1.0.168.192.

This also makes these functions useless on x86 systems for performing calculations of IP counts, validations, broadcasts, etc. (which is the purpose that I am trying to use them for).
