Is it possible to see the IP-address of a site I'm visiting, in Firefox or Internet Explorer?

Alternatively, are there any other ways (a site maybe) to see the IP-address given an www URL?





After all, the browser must do a DNS-lookup of the domain anyway, so surely it must have the IP-address somewhere...|||Yes:





Geolocation for links: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox鈥?/a>








Show IP of current page in the statusbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox鈥?/a>|||You're right, the browser must have used DNS to get the IP address... but I've not found a way to see it in the browser.





However Windows has a nice utility program you can run from DOS prompt... 'nslookup %26lt;URL%26gt;' - e.g. nslookup www.ibm.com





It uses DNS to find the IP address and tells you the IP address!|||Not the best answer, but yes.

At the command prompt type:

then hit enter. It will ping the website in question and show you it's IP.
