So if these ass-****s in DC decide to ruin the internet, here’s how to access your favorite sites in the event of a DNS takedown.
Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.” Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],”
Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access the internet regularly, you should, save this list.

it pretty much has everything
If you are asking what I think you are asking.. simply put the IP address in the url bar. If you are asking how to get the url of a website then go to command prompt (Search cmd on your PC) and then use the command 'ping' followed by the url of the website.

Oh, and how do I use ip addresses in the url? Thanks!edit on 20-7-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
Someone make a web page with only this information on it. Add different sections for different kinds of site (ahem ) and then save the ip and send it around. Make sure everyone has a copy. That way, should anyone be looking for a site (if this all does go down) just give them that number for the ip database and they'll find it. If we have to, we can pretend it's a phone number and say, "Here's the number for Mr. Net." I love doing this stuff.

Because I came up with the idea. Now it's someone else's turn.
