Viewing An IP Address in Command Prompt

Hi!

I was wondering if there's a way to view the IP address of a certain site through Command Prompt. Even better, maybe there's a way to access it through a c++ or java program!

thanx.

You can access a site through java without knowing the IP Address. look up the java.net.*; package.

The ping command referenced in Catweazle's link will return the IP, although by default it will query a site 4 times, echo a response for every query, and then barf summary statistics on top of that. You can limit the query count with the "-n" switch, but it will still return the stats as well.

You might also check out the "nslookup" command.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

This is how you can grab the client ip address:
  InetAddress thisIp =
        InetAddress.getLocalHost();
     System.out.println("IP:"+thisIp.getHostAddress());

Remember to include that in a try catch clause, as that code could potentially cause an exception.

Also, writting a simple servlet would be easier:

String IP = req.getRemoteAddr();
req is an HTTPServletRequest Object.

Sorry, you might want to get it by the hostname:

java.net.InetAddress inetAdd =
java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.ibm.com");
	System.out.println ("IP Address is : " + inetAdd.getHostAddress());
