forster Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 My firewall has a few web addresses banned. Im sure the fw is crap, so I could probably use the banned sites IP - question is, how to find this out? And if someone wants to give it a shot - http://mail.yahoo.com One day, I will be able to check my email from work ;) Also Babelfish is banned, so cant get round it that way :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samg Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 PING IT ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted September 25, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2003 yep. pinging it should work. you might have to use a switch so it shows the unresolved ip... try ping /? first of all, and find the switch which disables name resolution. EDIT: according to my ping, mail.yahoo.com translates to login1.login.vip.dcn.yahoo.com, and its ip is 216.109.127.60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
