[Michael]

Hi guys.
Quick question. How do you determine the number address for a url?
Thanks,

Hi Michael

Whois or internic should be able to tell you that. Take a trip on over to their site and see ..

Thanks.
I was able to find this little site (http://faq.web2010.com/services/nslookup.html) that simply gives you back the numbered url without much fuss. Sifting through the internet, with a simple question and few specific terms, lead you to all sorts of information, much of which is not useful. It's an amazing cyberuniverse.

Michael,

I just stumbled across yet another Worm-tastic dll :D , and recalled you were looking for something along these lines. It's from a post dated back in June.

Here's a DLL that I wrote back in the day of AMS4 that returns an IP address for a hostname. You might be able to use it to take the hostname, covert to IP, then connect.

Here's an updated example. If it cannot resolve the host name to an IP, it returns 0.0.0.0
