another theory of mine is that the ip address it is looking for on the dharma iniative web site is the lottery numbers. somebody tru that and see what happens if you mask your ip to be the numbers...

That's not possible. IP addresses are only blocks of 4.

For example:
255.255.255.255

This isn't a real IP address, but it shows what one will look like. A true IP address can be one, two or three numbers in each of the 4 block areas.

Since 4, 5, 15, 16, 23, 42 has six blocks, you'd have to figure out which combination of them would provide the correct blocks of 4 numbers. That's an incredible amount of possibilities.
