networked computer, nslookup will query a DNS
server and return the IP address that corresponds to that
domain name.

Win-r. In the "Open:" field, typecmdand pressEnter.
- At the command prompt, type
nslookupplus the domain name of the computer you want to look up, and pressEnter. For example, to find the IP address for www.indiana.edu, you would type: nslookup www.indiana.eduThis command will return the following information:
Server: ns.indiana.edu Address: 129.79.1.1 Name: indiana.edu Address: 129.79.1.61The first two lines show the domain name and IP address of the DNS server that answered the
nslookupquery. The next two lines show the domain name and IP address of the computer for which you were searching. - When you're finished, type
