Formating help?

[jdisme]

I wrote a script a little while ago that was used for finding the ip of websites, open up firefox, click on the url bar, and type in that ip. here is the code:

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
Run ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
WinWaitActive ("Mozilla Firefox")
Sleep (1000)
Mousemove (440,70)
Sleep (250)
MouseClick ("")
TCPStartup()
Send (TCPNameToIP($var))
Send ("{enter}")

I would like a more reliable way to do this. I know that if I do:

ShellExecute ("www.autoitscript.com")

then it opens up my default browser at the autoit site.

So I was thinking... can't I mix those together for a more reliable script?

I came up with:

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
TCPStartup()
Run ((TCPNameToIP($var)))

But it doesn't work... what is wrong?

I thank you in advance for your help

It's this simple

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
ShellExecute($var)

TCPStartUp() is a different animal.

Thanks for your help but I guess I was not clear on what I was trying to do. I am at school and things such as "youtube" are blocked but the IP of it isn't.

get an admin account then, and unblock it

I can't test firefox, but this works for IE

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
ShellExecute("http://" & $var)

...thats not going to happen anytime soon, and even if I did that there would still be people who this script can help.

@ someone

First of all thanks for trying to help. But That brings up youtube, but like I said its still blocked. I need a way to open up the website ($var) using the direct IP address. So instead of "http://www.youtube.com" I need "208.65.153.238" thats why I was using TCPtoIP.

Got it. thanks someone for giving me the idea, this works perfectly.

$var = InputBox ("Bypass", "Please enter the site that you are trying to access.")
TCPStartup()
ShellExecute("http://" & TCPNameToIP($var))
