Are you asking how to format http://123.123.123.123/ or are you saying DNS
does not work?

If the latter there are several possibilities:
You have not specified a DNS server in your network settings
The DNS server specified is incorrect
The DNS server is down

If you know a web site's name and want to see its IP address, open a
command prompt window and ping the site (leaving off the http://).
For example, I just entered:

ping www.msn.com

and it produced the output:

Pinging www.msn.com [207.68.172.234] with 32 bytes of data:

Notes:

1. Some web sites don't reply to pings, so the request will time out.

2. Some web sites have multiple IP addresses, so you might get a
different one each time you ping the site. Leaving off the "www."
might produce a more consistent result. For example:

ping msn.com

produces:

Pinging msn.com [207.68.172.246] with 32 bytes of data:

That error message means that your computer wasn't able to translate
the name "www.msn.com" to its IP address. That indicates a problem
with DNS name resolution. Check the DNS server addresses for your
Internet connection.
