<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
That should do yeah. I have never has any issue with an IP coming up this way.

Yes your probably right, but I do not understand the IP part. Never had an issue like that before with .htaccess. Is your DNS configured properly? You can check your DNS resolving at http://www.intodns.com
OP, why would you want to redirect your IP to WWW? Are you forwarding your domain to a WAMP type host with no NameServers?

I have already added non-w w w to w w w 301 redirect.
but I also want to add ip to w w w redirect.
want to now that if I want to redirect my ip to my domain then can I type another two lines in the below of the upper mention lines only by changing the first line domain to my ip ?

Sky,
If you have a redirect set up, you already are redirecting your IP address to another one because a domain name acts as an easy-to-understand wrapper for an IP address. I think you may need to describe your problem a little better for anyone to help you.
When you say your domains?s dedicated IP is being indexed, it is not clear what you mean by that. Are there characters that are showing up in SERP?s that you don?t want to show up? If so, a redirect will not solve this issue. You have to change the source of where Google is pulling that information from (usually from your pages but can come from your host in regards to domain names).
You might be able to find some other ideas in this thread,

He is talking about "IP canonicalization"
Here is how you do it:
# Start Ensure www on all URLs and ip canonicalization to same host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^111\.222\.222\.111
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# End

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# End
