How to find an IP of a website


Recommended Posts

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

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.

Thanks all !! :woot: :woot: :woot:
