13.3 Tips for Internet setup

13.3.1 Finding the IP address of a given host

The eWON does not provide DNS (Domain Name Server) resolution. It means that the usual way to reference nodes on Internet,

which is "by name", will not work with the eWON. Instead you have to specify the IP address of the destination node.

In order to find the address corresponding to a given name, you can use the ping –a NodeName command.

This command will return miscellaneous information including the IP address of NodeName that you need.

Example:

The microsoft.com IP address reported is in italic for this example.

13.4 Finding your PC IP address

Under Windows 95/98, the WINIPCFG command (executed from a command prompt or from the START/RUN menu)

will return your Ethernet and PPP adapter IP address.

If not currently connected through PPP, the PPP IP address is N/A.

WINIPCFG DOS command does not exist anymore on Millennium, Windows NT, 2000 and XP systems.

The IPCONFIG command can be used instead.

This command must be executed from a command prompt and displays as text the IP address of all the TCP/IP adapters that are detected.

Example:

C:\>ping -a microsoft.com

Pinging microsoft.com [207.46.197.101] with 32 bytes of data:

Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 207.46.197.101:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

C:\>ipconfig
