Owner of an IP address
-
you could try
ping -a [IP address]and then use that information to track the owner at one of the many whois sites eg http://www.whois.co.uk[^]Stupidity dies. The end of future offspring. Evolution wins. - A Darwin Awards Haiku

If I got a "request timeout" from the ping command I can´t discover the nameserver (and the provider). Any ideas ? Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank

Anyone know how can I found out who is the owner (ISP or company) of a specific internet IP address ? Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank
You can use
whoisto do a reverse lookup or search ARIN's servers. Search for DNS and ARIN on google for more information on that. Alternatively, ARIN has a web-based[^] util to do this too. Just enter the IP and it'll return the netblock owner. Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger -

Apparently not. It doesn't find my address, nor does it identify my ISP, or his provider. In fact, it returns the whole Internet as the domain space. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

It didn't locate my address, but it did identify the ISP that assigned it to me, as well as his provider's Class B network. Handy tool!:-D "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

Whatever the owners do with them is a mystery. :) I'd do a reverse DNS lookup for the actual domain info, etc. of the person using the IP - not the one that owns it.

I used to rely on nslookup for a lot of stuff, but even that doesn't work anymore - everything I enter returns 10.0.1.128. I maintain that the ISP has a problem in DNS, but he insists that it's working fine. Reverse DNS would be extremely useful, but I don't know where to find it. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

Try the whois program that comes with CygWin... Concussus surgo. When struck I rise.

You must have a valid pointer record on the DNS server being queried to pull it off, which is what your ISP will use to get the data and cache it on their DNS servers. So, if some newbie from lalaland.net doesn't know anything about DNS it may not work, and it wouldn't be the fault of your ISP. However, if everyone you try to run is returning what looks to be a local IP to me, it's most likely your ISP and they don't know what they are doing. How comforting is that? :) It's not always foolproof, but it at least gives ya some options. Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger

Not very!:laugh: Another clue is that I can't reach my website from anywhere else on his system, but from any other point in the world it pops up just fine.:-D Me thinks he's a tad clueless... But still, how exactly do I do a reverse DNS lookup? Is there a built-in command, or do I have to use a website like ARIN? "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

Yes I know, nothing is perfect, but usually it works for me.
