Find the IP Address of the URL

1. The first step is to have a URL that you would like to translate into an IP address. For this tutorial, we'll use www.ehow.com.

2. Next, open a command prompt window. Click on the Start button, and then choose Run. In the Run dialog box, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks) and then Enter. Or, instead of going to Run, you can go to Programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt to bring up the window.

3. Now, in the command prompt window, type in "nslookup www.ehow.com" substituting your web address in the command, and then press Enter. What is returned is the IP address of the website. In this case, it is 63.123.155.104.

4. You can use this in your web browser in place of the URL by typing in "http://63.123.155.104" in the address bar, and you will be taken to eHow.com.
