How can I find a website IP Address

[weee]

?

quickest way is to ping it.

START, RUN, type in CMD

In your command window, type Ping google.com

I'm getting the IP and when I'm putting the IP number in the address bar I'm not geting the website. I'm getting an error from some hosting company.

do a whois search. or an nslookup at the command line (nslookup domain.com) what's the domain?

And I got a server address & another different IP (that took me nowhere).

[russell]

what's the domain? Every domain is associated with a primary IP address. Name servers translate www.someDomain.com into IP addresses. If you can find it via the www address, the you should be able to easily find the IP.

I just did an nslookup on Google. It returned 3 IP addresses. The first one is 216.239.37.99

So...let me type in http://216.239.37.99 into a browser...google pops right up.

Now it may be that there is no default/index document on the domain you are trying to reach, in which case you need the exact path to the document you are trying to access, say Google Advertising programs: http://216.239.37.99/ads/index.html
