Pinging to determine 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 A-2, except that when

you specify the -a modifier, 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.
