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 DOS prompt, type ping -a <IP address> and then press <Enter>. The computer’s return display is similar to the ping response shown in figure 82, except that when you specify the -amodifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.
