How to Find a Direct IP for a Website? Like for www.yahoo.com?

Go to the command prompt and type ping www.yahoo.com
It will give the IP address. To use the IP in your browser, type http://209.73.186.238

If you use firefox, there's a nifty little extension called ShowIP, which can be found here. I use it often, as it's much easier than using a DNS<=>IP program.

You can also use nslookup to query the site's DNS and find out the IP, though ShowIP is nifty. Just be warned that big sites that get a lot of traffic may use several IP addresses due to load balancing and what not.
