Pinging to determine the web IP address

The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the web address rather than the numeric IP address.

At the prompt, enter ping -aIP address. The display that the computer returns is similar to the Ping response shown in the figure above, except that when you specify the -amodifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address instead of the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.
