    MS DOS prompt screen
    How do you get onto your MS DOS prompt screen on Windows XP? I'm trying to get a dot address for a domain name.

    OK MS DOS doesn't exist in XP, but if you want a command prompt (similar but different) then go Start > run and type CMD.
    Job done ;)

    What do you mean by this.
    Are yo looking for the site IP address, format 0.0.0.0 ?
    If so then there are a lot of tools online to help with this.
    Here's one FYI is called a DNS lookup.

    Just experimenting with things, like finding out the dot address of a domain name... like whatis.com... 205.245.172.72 where you type ping xxx.yyy in the CMD screen. I'm just trying to increase my knowledge, but thanks for your help! :) that sight you linked me too is good too though, works better for that. Thanks!

    Try TRACERT (Trace Route) to see the route you take to a perticular address.
    It can be quite amazing just how far your request travels.
    BTW the "dot address " is known as the IP (Internet Protocol) Address.
