Link: Network Tools
Three test tools are available from this page.
•NSLookup - converts a domain name to its IP address and vice versa.
•Ping - tests the “reachability” of a particular network destination by sending an ICMP
echo request and waiting for a reply.
•TraceRoute - displays the path to a destination by showing the number of hops and the
router addresses of these hops.
1. To use the NSLookup capability, type an address (domain name or IP
address) in the text box and click the

NSLookup

button
Example: Show the IP Address for grosso.com.
Result: The DNS Server doing the lookup is displayed in the Server: and Address:
fields. If the Name Server can find your entry in its table, it is displayed in the Name:
and Address: fields.
