I know how to run ping, nslookup, tracert and all that, but running that
stuff does not necessarily tell you what IE is looking at any given time.

On a Win2K machine I played with, nslookup resolved a URL using the
configured nameserver, and skipped the hosts file. tracert and ping looked
at the hosts file first, then the nameserver. IE, though, may be getting a
particular page from a local cache or a proxy cach, and it is unclear to me
how to tell what IE is doing at a particular time.
