Go to the command prompt and 'ping' the server you are after:

[tt]
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

C:\>ping

So you just need to type [tt]ping www.someserver.com[/tt] and the ping command should automatically resolve the host name to an IP address for you. In this case, the IP address for

http://www.google.com

is 216.239.33.99

Just to add, to do the opposite, (find out who an IP belongs to) you can go to

http://www.arin.net/whois/

and type in the IP address to get domain registrant and contact information. If it is under the umbrella of another registrar they will point you to it as well.

If you guys run linux too you can use the nslookup, dig, or host commands. One of them is being depreciated and I cant remember which. Hope this helps too!
