I've come across some caches that need you to find out some info about geocaching.com.
The first thing you can determine is the IP address. To find this on a Windows PC (sorry, don't have a Mac, but here is an equivalent) click on the start globe and type cmd into the search box. It will find a program called cmd.exe. Click on this and a new window appears. At the blinking cursor, type in
ping www.geocaching.com
