hmm anyone in here knows how i could get the IP address of any website using just the DOS command apart from using the NETSTAT and the PING command?

tracert is a sure thing :)
Just do a DNS --> IP transfer using something like SamSpade.
u can do it on irc
just do
/dns www.antionline.com
that will give it to u
There are also some free online utilities to ping, traceroute etc. One can be found at:
http://www.fifi.org/services/ping
or just use plain old nslookup :-) "Nslookup www.antionline.com"
Whats wrong with Netstat -n?
Netstat -n will only show connections that are active, recently closed, or listening ports. In most cases, this will not do the trick.Quote:
Recca is right...'nslookup' is the command you want to use. Just pinging the URL also does the trick, so if it works, why not use it
OK...well i have never heard of nslookup....what the hell? I went to cmd and typed
c:>nslookup
im sure you can figure out what it told me.
Bad Command or file name.
Where do i find this tool?
We...based on that answer...I can assume you are using win9x or me. Unfortunately there is no nslookup. It is only for NT, 2000, XP. You might be able to find third party software that will do this on a win9x box, or you can just stick to ping for now, which will automatically do a lookup and return the IP.
All else fails, maybe you can try *nix.
Try this though first:

Since your using the MS 9x family OS, you'll want to use a good third party util... I use Neotrace Pro and Grims ping to keep track of ttraffic and lookups. add in a good firewall like outpost Pro or TPF and you will be in good shape to keep tabs on your system or network.

Yea Wave neotrace is a very handy app. I would also recommend a program called SuperScan. you can just copy and paste a ip or address and do a dns or reverse dns search really fast(for the lazy who don't like typing) LOL. From there you can also do a port scan.
Just my two cents,
may not get you the ip of a url just converts it to hex but is still pretty cool ;)
funky url
