I am trying to connect a new gps to the GCGC rtn network in Mississippi. My login credentials are a server address with a port number. The server address is alpha characters but my GPS wants numeric characters. Can anyone help with this issue?
Thanks,
Garrett

If you have a domain name you can use a tool like http://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx to find the IP. If that is what you are looking for

If it's a public domain name, you can lookup the ip address.
Here's one site that does it for you:

That works, thank you!

Like most OSs, Windows has a built-in command for this: nslookup. Example:
P.S. The numeric address shown isn't correct, it should be 168.150.253.1. Reversing the query -- entering the domain name -- produces the correct result. I don't know if it's a bug in the Windows implementation of nslookup or something else, but it's something I haven't encountered before.
