Use nslookup. "nslookup (IP address)". No
parentheses.
nslookup is a Unix utility, run it at the shell prompt. There will likely
be versions available for other systems as well.
Alternatively, visit the NIC (www.internic.net) and you can run the IP
address through their database there.
I find http://swhois.net useful as a replacement for whois and nslookup
as if you enter an IP address it gives the details of the domain which
owns it, if you give a network address it gives the registrant of the
netblock and if you give it a domain name then it gives the details one
would expect from a whois. All this from one search box on a web form
;-)
BTW 157.54.0.0 to 157.60.0.0 is registered to microsoft.com ;-)
postmasternetwork.net uses enameserv.com for its DNS so they are a fair
bet as the providers for the website that you quote.
Whilst I am posting, Allison, could you please e-mail me privately with
the full details as to how to break in to the MicroVAX 2000 which I have
just been given? I know I should have printed it last time. At present
it boots to a $ prompt with no login prompt but if I try to run
AUTHORIZE it just puts up the details of time used etc and hangs.
