Final answer:
Using nslookup on a command line interface, you can retrieve the name and IP address of the mail server for your ISP by querying the MX records with 'nslookup -type=MX ispdomain.com' and then running 'nslookup mailservername' on the result.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the name and IP address of the mail server for your home Internet Service Provider (ISP), you would use the nslookup command with a specific query. For example, you might use 'nslookup -type=MX ispdomain.com' where 'ispdomain.com' is replaced with your ISP's actual domain name. This command will return the Mail Exchange (MX) records which include the priority and the domain name of the mail servers used by your ISP. To get the IP address, you can then run 'nslookup mailservername' using one of the returned mail server names.
It's worth noting that to use nslookup, dig, or host commands, they must be installed on your computer. These commands typically come installed on Unix-based systems like Linux and macOS, but for Windows, nslookup is readily available, while dig and host may need to be installed separately.To find the name and IP address of the mail server for your home ISP using nslookup, you can follow these steps:the Command Prompt or Terminal on your computer.Type nslookup and press Enter.Type set type=mx and press Enter to set the query type to MX (Mail eXchange).Type the domain name of your home ISP's email server (for example, mail.isp.com) and press Enter.The output will display the name and IP address of the mail server for your home ISP.Remember to replace mail.isp.com with the actual domain name of your home ISP's email server.
