Ping will do that too, it looks up the ip address then pings the ip address.

Code:

$ ping www.google.com

Ping statistics for 66.102.7.99:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 84ms, Maximum = 154ms, Average = 103ms

you can do the same thing from a dos prompt in windows. And something is definitely messed up with my dns. If i enter an ip address for a website that times out when i try to access it by url, it works fine. I can't figure out what the difference is, the DNS settings are the same for both that machine and my laptop which works fine. I also have no idea this would only affect firefox.

i hate computer problems i cant solve!
