None of that is necisary. From Linux just type host <domain name>

For windows just type ping <domain name>

Either will resolve the address for you. Using a packet sniffer or network monitor to trace a dns lookup is like using a cannon to light a cigarette.

well in windows(in mycase) if the host is down it still wont show a ip....or maybe its because im having problems with my isps dns server...not sure...

but i just did get host(hostx) and that is exactly what i needed ...man this will be nice!!!

thanks man....

im still like neotrace cause it makes cool noises...lol

dnslookup would be the windows tool to debug dns.

if the dns server is down dnslookup would not do you anygood.
