How does one find the numerical server address for a web page?

Thanks for any help.

Do a reverse dns look-up.
One place to do it is www.dnsstuff.com

Input the domain name and you'll get the IP.

Hi James

fire up a command prompt and type nslookup www.site.com

If you are looking for the server's IP addresss when you say "numerical
server address", then an easy way to do this is to run the "ping"
command in a command prompt box.

For example, doing this to get Yahoo's web server address shows it's at
216.109.117.108:

=====================
C:\WINDOWS>ping www.yahoo.com

Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [216.109.117.108] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 216.109.117.108: bytes=32 time=129ms TTL=56
Reply from 216.109.117.108: bytes=32 time=147ms TTL=56

Ping statistics for 216.109.117.108:
Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 2, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 129ms, Maximum = 147ms, Average = 138ms
======================


Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Open a DOS or CMD window ( depending upon windows version ) and type:
ping www.website.com and press enter.
It will return the numerical IP address of the website.
Be advised that many websites run on servers that use shared IP's / virtual
hosting.
Therefore it's possible that you could ping www.thissite.com and
www.thatsite.com and have them both return the same IP address.
If so and they returned IP 123.456.789.123 and you then entered
http://123.456.789.123 in your browser address bar you will most likely get
a server default page and not a web site.

Example: www.95isalive runs on a shared IP / virtual server. The IP
address is http://216.74.96.157
Click the IP address and see what happens.

...also, many may have the ping blocked with their firewall.
