someone is telling lies on where he or she is don't worry Open a command console. On a Mac, it's
called Terminal and it's in the Utilities
folder. On a PC, click on Start, then
Accessories, and then Command Prompt .
This will let us ping any website to find out
the IP address of that website then Ping an address. This sends a signal out to
a URL—like a sonar, hence the name—which
then bounces back with the website
information attached, and how long the
round trip took.
Type "ping [URL]" - example: ping
www.facebook.com. Press return. The IP address should appear
beside the website name, followed by how
many seconds or milliseconds the ping took.
The format of an IP address is numeric,
written as four numbers separated by
periods. For Facebook, the IP address is
69.171.237.16.

1. This isn't an introduction
2. Ping isn't used to get the ip, ping is used to check if a host is up.

If you want the ip use nslookup (nslookup facebook.com) which does what ping does to resolve the name facebook.com to an IP but it does not send any packets directly to facebook(like a ping would) it just does the name resolution .

3. A ping sends a ECHO request to an IP not to a URL(it determined the IP well before it sends anything) The response contains no new information about the website. It doesn't contain website information, or the round-trip time. The ECHO Response only needs to contain the ECHO Request payload in its payload(hence echo). At least this is the normal implementation, there are exceptions.

Ping is just a program that uses the echo request to determine the round-trip time thats all calculated by the ping program.

4. Facebook has many IPs not just one.

5. This isn't going to tell you anything about where someone else is located. It does however reveal information about where YOU are located as the facebook IP you get is dependent on your geographical location.
