How can I find the ip address of a server name on a network?

My pc is connected to a network. I know the server name of the database server but I need to use its ip address? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

2. Open up command prompt , ping the server name to find the ip address. for examples ping shenley1
3. u go to the network properties... if you are using windows double click on the sytem tray (the blinking 2 computer monitor on the bottom left of ur screen) then click details... and the DNS is ur server name
4. You can use the following command to get a list of connections with names and IP addresses netstat -b -v
5. GO TO COMMAND PROMPT AND TYPE ipconfig AND THEN PRESS ENTER ,SO U WILL FIND IP ADDRS

7. PING, NSLOOKUP and DIG can all be used to determine a IP address from hostname.
