The standard way is to say nslookup <ip address> The DNS is the system which is used to map text-form machine names (eg, "lists.debian.org") onto the IP addreses which are what the computers actually use to talk to each other. It also stores other information such as information about which machines handle mail for a given destination. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
