How do you find the IP address of a web site?

Instead of using the URL?
http://www.trendmicro.com/
A friend has blaster and I was wondering if he could access his av site using the IP?

 

[dmurray14]

go to the command prompt and type nslookup <website address>

Go into the dos command window and type nslookup www.trandmicro.com

Name: a111.gc.akamai.net
Addresses: 81.52.248.137, 81.52.248.136
Aliases: www.trendmicro.com, trendmicro.com.edgesuite.net

Trendmicro uses Akamai so you will not be able to acccess www.trendmicro.com by IP

Yep, doesn't work.
But at least I learned how to look up IPs.
