Hey Johnny the girl,
u have an excellent tool under ur eyes... yes...
AO provides a tool called IP locator. http://www.antionline.com/tools-and-toys/ip-locate/
It gives address and World wild location.
No doubt, AO is a good site ;)
If u want to understand the theory google "DNS"
Target IP.. Sam Spade is one option, also try blackcode.com for IP. traceroute, ping open port, DNS records, and whosis all in one shot....
It depends on the server hosting the domain name. If ICMP is being blocked by a firewall then ping will not do anything. If it's not a ping will echo back the IP address of the domain name. Otherwise you can go to www.nsi.com and do a WHOIS.

Issue a dns lookup on the host..
Linux:
host <host/ip>
Windows (many ways): an easy way to figure out the ip, is to ping it..
Yes, finding the IP and pinging the host have little to do with eachother, but..
C:\>ping www.yahoo.com
Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [216.109.125.66] with 32 bytes of data:
I'm not aware of a host command on windows.
yes johnny, these guys are correct...
further tips on gaining IP adresses: if you are trying to get the IP of an ISP, or a semi large company... find an email adress for the company... (ie. [email protected]) and then run a mailbounce on that email (ie. [email protected]) then look in the header when the email bounces back to you, and u should have their SMTP adress. I know that there are better ways of getting that such as "ping mail.microsoft.com" but this might help you better understand some of the concepts.
just a thought ;)
