Don't know how to use IP address

[Andre]

I have got a certain IP address and have tried to use it, instead of the usuual http://.... But it didn't work. Can you tell me how to use it?

Thank you.

Is that IP address an external (public) web page?

Essentially, if you have an IP address of a web site, you don't need to enter the HTTP or the .COM (but you already knew that).

If it is a "public" IP address to a web page, it might be using :8080 instead of the default :80 port. But your browser should be able to figure that out.

You could try:

222.222.222.222:8080

The other thing to try is see if you can PING the address. Bring up a command prompt window and type ping 222.222.222.222 and the enter key. If it's good you will have a 0% loss reply. Otherwise, that IP address is dead.

Sounds like your trying to resolve a domain name to your ip address. I did this for a while. I used a script called bind, bought a domain name and just put then together. Then i had halfnite.com, but then the cable company busted me and gave me a nonportable ip addy so that i couldn't run A DNS. Owell good luck and post back if you need help.
