IP resolver?

[mgordon99]

I am wondering if there is a program out there that will resolve a domain name into the IP number?

Maybe this is already avaliable in windows? Don't know.

Drop to a DOS window. I know this works in Win2k and I think NT:

c:\>ping cnn.com

Pinging cnn.com [207.25.71.246] with 32 bytes of data:
(ping timings omitted)

Something like that. Dunno if Win98 has the same thing.

If not, see if this Trace Program (http://www.pc-help.org/trace/trace.zip) can help you.

//edit
BTW, your ISP's DNS must be working for the ping thing to work.

you can also run the trace route which is in windows already the command is.."tracert (whatever)" run it in the dos prompt or command prompt http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
