code: public static int aton(final byte[] addr)
  	{
  		int address = addr[3] & 0xFF;
  		address |= ((addr[2] << 8) & 0xFF00);
  		address |= ((addr[1] << 16) & 0xFF0000);
  		address |= ((addr[0] << 24) & 0xFF000000);
  
  		return address;
  	}

  This only works for IPv4 (obviously)
  
  @param addr
  
  @return
