How to Find a Google IP Address

The IP address uniquely identifies each server or computer on the Internet, and it is usually written in the dotted decimal notation, such as 193.15.12.5. Google, the popular search engine that also offers other services such as Gmail, uses a number of servers. You may need to know their IP addresses to configure your email as well as for Web-based programming. Luckily, you can use a special network program that is native to Windows to find out the current IP addresses for the Google domain.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Start" menu, which is located on the bottom lefthand corner of your desktop.

2. Select "All Programs."

3. Click on "Accessories," then choose "Command Prompt."

4. Type the command "nslookup www.google.com" in the command prompt window. Press "Enter" on the keyboard.

5. Read the list of IP addresses associated with Google's domain in the command output.

6. Type "exit," then press "Enter" to close the command prompt window.
