Oooh... that's a lovely IP address

24th November 2000

Oooh... that's a lovely IP address you're wearing. Who designed it? Ah, Tommy Hillfinger. Wish to discover the owner(s) of an IP number? Ya know, something that looks like: 256.30.3.203. Just call on a nice command line utility named Nslookup (must be European, as he's only known by his first name). Run COMMAND.COM (or CMD.EXE in Windows NT/2k) and enter: "NSLOOKUP [IP]" (sans quotes). If you wish to resolve a range of numbers, consider just running the utility without an initial IP. This comes in handy when you're trying to 'put a face' on those seemingly-random Internet numbers. And to think: this program has been sitting there all along -- just waiting for you to wear... er, use it. Make a fashion statement! It's almost as delightful as the classic FTP.EXE utility. PUT this trick on your system. Heh heh... GET it?
