Server URLs (or Uniform Resource Locators) are the names that we typically think of when we think about a server (www.ehow.com, for example). These URLs are actually translated into server IP addresses when we navigate to a web page, because each URL is assigned to an IP address. Thus, if you know the IP address of the server, you can find out the URL with a simple command.

Step 4
Read the server URL from the response given in the command prompt window.
