[Csci551-talk] IP address

[Xi Wang]

To me the address is more like 173.132.2.0. You might have used wrong 
byte order. Tracker needs to store IP addresses of each client node. 
Although for this project all nodes run on a single machine, your basic 
design should allow them to work on different machines.
