Looking up a Host

To look up a host:

  1. On the File menu, click Host Lookup.
  2. In the Name box, type the machine name or IP address for the host you want to view.
  3. In the Type drop-down list, select the type of records you want to view. The Host Address (A) displays by default. Not all Name Servers display the records you may want. You can select the preferred record type from the Type drop-down list box. If you select Any Type (ANY), all of the record types for that host appear.
  4. In the Server box, type the name of the Name Server. This box contains the Name Server identified in the Preferences dialog box by default.
  5. Click OK.

The type you select in the Host Lookup dialog box impacts the information that appear.
