I was wondering, is it is possible to view previously connected ip addresses that my computer had connected with?

Hi and welcome to TSG.

You can see websites that the computer was connected to in the Browser History. Would that be enough ?

No but you could open a command prompt and type in Ping followed by the website name and that will show the IP address, as below :-

C:\Users\allan>ping google.com

Pinging google.com [216.58.213.14] with 32 bytes of data:

The IP address for google.com is 216.58.213.14 as shown in the square brackets.

Why do you want the IP addresses ?

ping is probably the easiest to use.
You can also go here https://tools.wordtothewise.com/dns
type in the domain in the blank in front of A and it will give you the IP.

I suggest using nslookup.

Same command prompt steps as Allan posted up but use nslookup instead:

nslookup google.com

This command will query your configured DNS server and provide all the IP addresses that are aliased to the domain name.

This is what I get when I do a nslookup on yahoo.com:

Name: new-fp-shed.wg1.b.yahoo.com
Addresses: 2001:4998:124:1507::f001
2001:4998:124:1507::f000
74.6.143.25
74.6.143.26
74.6.231.20
74.6.231.21
Aliases: www.yahoo.com

Not all websites on the Internet will have multiple IP addresses that will resolve to the single domain but as you can see some still do.

Windows default settings keep a local cache of DNS look ups for the past 24 hours (unless cleared with a ipconfig /flushdns command or software). You can open up a Command prompt screen and enter ipconfig /displaydns to see the contents. This will show you the IP address used by your computer for a given hostname.

Chuck,
Tried this and it quickly displays the results and closes the Command Windows?

How do I see the list?

It sounds like you may be entering the command in the Windows Run dialog box rather than the command screen.

If that is the case, first enter cmd in the Run dialog box. That should open up the command screen that looks like and old MS-DOS screen with a blinking cursor.

You can then enter the ipconfig /displaydns command. That will display the results and keep the command screen open
