IOS – How to visit an IP address on Mobile Safari

iosmobile-safariNetwork

I am on iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 5. I type in a IP address on my local network, 192.168.11.18, in my Safari address bar, and Safari completely ignores the fact that it is a host I am wanting to visit. Instead, it searches for www.192.168.11.18 in my ISP's search engine.

How can I force Safari to visit the host I am requesting and not assume it's a search term?

i.e.: http://192.168.11.18
