Vanity: Internet address

today | me

[llevrok]

My company blocks internet streaming unless I use the numeric internet address (e.g. 208.33.2583)

One was given to me and it works

How can i get the same type of address myself (such as, instead of WMALradio.com, I get 208.33.2583) ?

You need to do a DNS lookup. There are lots of places on the web that will do it for you. One is DNS Stuff.

Go to that page, look down the left side for the box labeled Domain Info. Enter WMALradio.com in the box and click the Get Info.

When the info page pops up, look in the list for the IP Address. In this case, it's 64.20.43.107.

Oops, I forgot to mention in my previous message that you have to do the DNS lookup for the streaming server, which isn't necessarily the same as the main web site server.

Net lightning has a built in dns look up that'll write to your hosts file.

Works great for win98 (c:\win..) but you'll have to copy it to where Win XP keeps hosts (c:\win...\sys32\drivers\etc)
