Addiotional Info :
you can get to know the iP address of a host by using Ping.
Other similar tools are
nbtstat -a HOSTNAME
Shows the IP address of the host, and also its other information
netstat -a
Shows the list of all open connection along with the port number
netstat -n shows IP address instead of hostSunday, June 3, 2007 2:14 PM -

Is the "nslookup" command substitute of "ping"???Wednesday, June 6, 2007 5:28 AM

@Raghuram - The nslookup isn't an alternative for ping. But you can also check whether a domain is up or not, also you can get the IP address of the domain. But its just to lookup the IP / domain or the name server .Wednesday, June 6, 2007 2:12 PM
