There is a DOS command called nslookup and a parallel command in UNIX called

host which will lookup a hostname based on an IP address and vice versa. Open a

DOS command prompt and run the nslookup command to determine the hostname of

the machine that sent the email message above. The syntax of the command is:

nslookup IPaddress (where IPaddress is the IP of the machine you want to lookup)

 

  1. Record the IP address of the sending computer: _______________________________
  2. Record the hostname of the sending computer: ________________________________
  3. Trace the path of the email and draw it here.
