Hi guys,

This is newbie question. I would like to know IP address of my host and how do I know which country the host is coming from?

Go into a DOS window and ping your URL.

Hi guys,

are may ways, maybe the simplest is to install Domain Whois extension for firefox:

this solve only the ip part of your question

Thanks OESXYL and Jerry,

I will try and put the WhoIs on my Mozilla Firefox. I hope I know how to do this. and about the DOS window i don't know how to get that.

Click Start then Run. Enter "cmd" in the run window (without the quotes). A DOS window will open up and you enter (without the quotes): "ping www.yourURL.com"

Thanks very much Jerry! That really give me the IP address.

Awesome man! Now I know. there's only one thing I would like to know now. Is there a way I would be able to know the country where it come from or that is something more difficult?

Thanks Again,
