Browser reaches web by domain name but not by IP
by banderas20 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CTE1)
Hi everyone.
I have a doubt.
If I point my browser to an specific web (let's say facebook.com), it works. So far so good.
Now I try to resolve its IP by command line with dig or host commands. dig returns the following:
Code:facebook.com. 300 IN A 31.13.83.36Now, if I point my browser to that IP, it doesn't work.
Why is that so?
Thanks!
