Numerical like in IP - address ?
If so enter the site the following site http://www.samspade.org and do a lookup...
If you have nix or winnt, you can use the nslookup command at a console.
Awwww.... Chaps...... Make it easy on the guy......
ping www.hotmail.com returns the target's IP
tracert XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX returns the FQDN, (Fully Qualified Domain Name), of the target IP.....

Couldn't you also just open up Command and use the ping function... doesn't it resolve the hostname down to the IP address?
not always, from my experiance if a site doesnt turn anything up in a whois and nslookup doesnt turn anything up, then ping usually doesnt either. So if its one of those cases youd have to let us know.
Johhny, (or should that be Johnette....<s>): Sorry..... :o
Plastic: Er..... Isn't that what I just said????? :confused:
Hatebreed: You are correct. Ping/tracert do not always resolve the FQDN/IP. But then if either of these don't you usually don't get any usable information out of any other tools other than the owner of the netblock which can span several A classes.
