DESCRIPTION

If you wish to resolve a host name and the path taken by your data 
packets from here to there, you can do it the hard way or the easy 
way.

The hard way involves the use of conventional command line programs 
that often have an arcane interface. Instead, use WhoSock and get 
all the information you need at the touch of a button.

WhoSock can be used to get a list of domain names that are associated 
with a given IP address, a list of IP addresses that are associated 
with a given domain name, or the official hostname associated with 
both. You can also ping the host to see whether it is active, and 
trace the route of your packets to the server and back, all from the 
comfort of your Windows interface.
