My Computer Back in Service

I received an e-mail the other day fom a client asking this question… 

How do I look up a DNS(Domain Name System/server) name or IP(Internet Protocol) address from my desktop?
(You must be connected to the Internet to look up a DNS name or IP address even though you are using Windows.)

• In the Start Menu, Open the Command Prompt.
• At the Command Prompt, type nslookup, a space, and the IP address or name (eg. nslookup microsoft.com)
• Then press ENTER.
• You get Your Result
• When finished type exit, then press enter

Pretty simple, but…

What to do if you are scraped?

• Try contacting the author through their about or contact page (if they even have one)
• Leave a comment on your post (that’s on the offending blog)
• Look up their IP address on http://allwhois.com/ and report them to the host
• Send a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) complaint
• If they are running Google Ads (and the probably are) click the Google Ads link and report them as scraping your content

Other than that, you might consider doing what I did on my Working at Home on the Internet blog (click the link for my alternate solution). It worked for me!
