6.2 Step Two: Pinging for a Web Address

While the IP address returned above would work as your e-mail server
address, it may not be permanent. IP addresses change all the time. Web
addresses, however, usually don’t. Because of this, you’re likely to have
fewer problems by configuring your system with web addresses rather
than IP addresses. Follow the instructions below to find the web address
assigned to the IP address you just pinged.

1. At the DOS command prompt, type ping -a 81.0.193.56, where

81.0.193.56 is the IP address you just pinged. Information such as
the following data will be displayed.
