passing parameter in function call with dot

[eluser]Ajaxian64[/eluser]
Hello,

I call a controller method trought the URL website.com/myownjob/25.120.264/otherthing

the method of my controller is myownjob($ip, $other)

When i have a look on the $ip it is not 25.120.264 that I receive but 25_120_264

Do you know the reason why and how could I get the dot instead of '_' ?

Many thanks

Thanks pistolPete
I change in config.php $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO"; to $config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";
ans it works fine.
(I'm on wampserver not in production server)

re-thanks
