How to find IP addresses

[Isabel Danforth]

I used nslookup from a unix shell account.

 nslookup www.hotmail.com                   
Server:  localhost.tiac.net
Address:  127.0.0.1
 
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.hotmail.com
Address:  207.82.250.251

There is also a piece of software called cyberkit.

It has ping, whois, and nslookup also.

I hope this helped.
