Hi. Here is what I am looking for. some software to perform a DNS lookup. I want to give it a URL, and get back the IP address of the web site. Why? Well I have a web site and maintain several web sites for some friends. The free hostin service that I use is pretty good, but has the annoying habit of changing the IP addresses of these web sites without giving notice that they have done so.
So sudenly, I cannot connect via FTP to upload new or changed pages.
I used to be able to do a ping, and get the IP but it seems that this is blocked by Peoplepc now...When I do a ping I get a response of unknown host nameofwebsite
I get this in both Kanotix and Win98se, both with firewall disabled and firewall running. Yet a Windows program called Fastnet 99 can get the IP addresses.
Is there a way to do this in Linux? Maybe from a terminal?
Any ideas?
PS. I really do not want to move these sites to a new web hosting service, and I have read that many free web hosting services change their IP addresses frequently. |

Yes you can use
whois <>
or
nslookup <>
both from CLI and both query the DNS directly however you should be able to do this directly with ftp too .. just use the domain name instead of IP. |

Hi Gowator. Here are the results of trying what you said.
martin@Kanotix:~$ nslookup http://shehar7.coconia.net/
Server: 209.244.0.3
Address: 209.244.0.3#53
** server can't find http://shehar7.coconia.net/: NXDOMAIN
martin@Kanotix:~$ whois http://shehar7.coconia.net/
No whois server is known for this kind of object.
This is a valid URL, and the web page is loaded in Firefox just fine.
I tried several other valid web page URLs also...same results. And the firewall IS disabled.
Any other ideas? |
