Here I’m going to tell you one very interesting way to get WhoIS information of any domain or IP address from your desktop. Yes, mostly or say almost all time we need to depend on different WhoIS websites. But, you can easily get all WhoIS information directly from DOS Command Prompt just by typing “whois www.domain.com” [without quote]. You will get the output on your DOS screen like this…

In Linux Shell you can direct get WhoIS information, but to obtain it from DOS you need to install a small EXE from Microsoft’s TechNet Webstie. You can download this EXE from here. After downloading, extract the EXE file to your System folder. [e.g. \Windows \ System32 or WinNT \ System32. If you are using Windows98 then \Windows\ System ]. That’s all, now simply type whois followed by any domain name or IP address on your command prompt and get all details. But, obviously this command will only work when you are connected with Internet.
