Use and ip tracing program like trace route, or you can do the same thing from your command prompt.

casimec's link is a good one ... another easy way is to use geektools.com whois command ... type in the IP and it spits out the current owner of the ip address -- you can do the same type of whois query at www.arin.net ...

or if you have access to a unix box whois -h whois.arin.net ip addy will show you the owner.

if he has a static IP it wont be hard to track him down, if not it could be a problem. But if he is static you can always get some frineds(with big pipes, think T3's) and DOS him for a week and see what he thinks about impersonating you then.

open dos window and type tracert <ip>
it will give you the hops and route to the target...

I can't even ping the ip from here. :(

my ip is 9.30.80.37


the other one is 32.97.110.73

I think it's our corporate name server or firewall or something???

In any case, figured the moderators would have checked with me first :(

I think it's just someone using AT&amp;T Business Internet Services (powered by IBM?). Your IP also comes up as belonging to IBM.

Fuzzmuncher,

The Moderator did not &quot;crap&quot; in your thread, he pointed out a fact. You were posting from EXACTLY the same IP address as the troll, in the same thread. I have verified it myself.

You are lucky that it was a moderator who could not find the nuke button. I do know where the button is, so I would suggest that you might want to reconsider attacking a mod for doing their job.

:(

sorry for defending myself.

I've sent you guys a PM describing how you're getting an IP from a proxy in colorado and tracing it to me in CA. It's like saying you live in New York, it must be you! :(

upon inspection, it does not respond to pings, upon further inspection is seems to be a router/firewall box, ports are filtered. hope that helps.

the ip they see me as is on a proxy or firewall in boulder, colorado.

I am in San Jose.

My ip is on the intranet which connects to the internet(outside world) through the boulder location.

32.97.110.73 you wouldnt be using to much of YOUR bannwidth :D thats why i said get someone with a BIG pipe like a t3 to DOS him for you, taking down someone on cable with a T3 or Dual T3's wont even make a differnce to the guy on the T3(as long as he doesn allocate ALL his bannwidth to it).
