Hi,
Presuming that you are looking to convert your ensembl ids to entrez 
ids, biomart (http://www.ensembl.org/Multi/martview) should be a good 
option. In the first screen, choose your organism, in the second load 
your ensembl ids(in the id list limit) and in the third, select out 
"EntrezGene ID" in the "External References" section. Lastly, select the 
output format you prefer and click export. Hopefully, that will do the 
conversion for you.
