how to find ip of server

[Karel]

how do you find the server IP matching with an url?
(so that you type an IP adress in your browser, and get to the site immediatly, instead of typing the url. --> how do you find the IP?)

 

[Guest]

Open a command prompt and type "nslookup www.server name.com".

Grumpy

ok thanks mate

command "tracert "ip address"" can do this job also.

tracert works both ways; you can find the IP for a specific URL and vice versa.

open a command prompt and ping the url.
