What is the IP address of XXX.YYY.ZZZ?
======================================

   If you are on a Unix machine, try using the `nslookup' command,
included in the Berkeley BIND package.  For example, to find the IP
address of `ftp.gnu.org', you would type `nslookup ftp.gnu.org'.

   Your computer should then provide the IP address of that machine.

   If your site's nameserver is deficient, you can use IP addresses to
FTP files.  You can get this information by e-mail:

     To: dns@[134.214.84.25]    (to grasp.insa-lyon.fr)
     Body: ip XXX.YYY.ZZZ        (or "help" for more information
                                  and options - no quotes)

or:

     To: resolve@[147.31.254.130]         (to laverne.cs.widener.edu)
     Body: site XXX.YYY.ZZZ
