take note of the URL

for example www.microsoft.com

then goto
Start
Run
type
CMD
click OK

<Command Prompt Opens>

type

ping www.microsoft.com <---- replace with whatever URL you noted
previously

press enter

response will show the IP address
207.46.144.188 <---- for this example

In N! Xau <[email protected]> fumbled, fiddled and fingered:

ping www.microsoft.com <---- replace with whatever URL you noted
previously

thanks Steve
I got this url from the ping: 66.153.188.30,
but once I try to open the web page using it in its numeric format, it does
not open.
The same with other pages.
What I want is to copy weblinks in documents in their numeric form, and make
them "clickable" as well as if they were in extended format.

thanks

Some sites use forms of security that may prevent what you are
attempting.

Is there a way to bypass it specifying a user/pass (anonymous or something)
next the numeric link?

I should'nt think so as the address's are probably being translated

 

[Gerry Voras]

Some web servers (many, actually) respond only to the host header name (URL)
because many IP addresses host multiple host headers.

Or, to be pedantic, web sites in a server are diistinguished by IP
address, port number and host header (if there is one).
