IP numbers exposed

hi there, sorry if i don't have enough personal information in my profile, i prefer to keep my "identity a secret". anyways here's the following...

the first step is to go to MS DOS and type " ping www.website.com" and a number should apear like this [128.242.82.47] and instead of typing in the words, go to the adress bar and type in the number that belongs to the site that your looking for.

Each computer has a number, like every house has an adress, if you lke to know what's the ip number fo your computer just go to MS DOS and type te following command " ipconfig", three numbers will appear, the first number will say "IP adress ..........27.0.0.1", the second one will say "Subnet mask .............27.0.0.1" and the last one will say "Default Gateway........27.0.0.1"

i hope that you enjoyed you visit, if you have questions i'll be mor than happy to assist you

Not really a tutorial. The information is ok. It basically describes the end effect of DNS and what DNS does when it comes to using the ICMP protocol.

Perhaps I'm missing something...
