How to find a websites IP address?

[olds]

The DNS function isn't working and I wanted to try and use just the IP.
http://free.hotboat.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi is the site.

Just use the ping command, it tells you what the IP is.

EDIT: Is it .com instead of .net?

.net wasn't a live connection while .com gave me 207.228.238.75

But ping isn't resolving the host. DNS is not working for it.

Try Network-tools.com

Pinging just hotboat.net gives me 216.177.72.209

If DNS isn't working, you can't resolve the hostname. In general, do "nslookup www.site.com" from a Windows command prompt.

Try and use the DMZ for you computer on your router and try again, make sure to take yourself off of dmz afterwards.
