How do I find out someone's isp from their IP?

[Nocturnal]

There is someone harrassing me. Also I keep getting his ip showing up in Zone Alarm. Does anyone know how I can put a stop to this. I wanna find his ISP out so I can turn him into his ISP for harrassment.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Traceroute his IP, & copy down the list of servers.

Work your way up from his IP (start at the bottom of the list), & one by one look up the servers on arin.

Post his IP here, I'm sure we can have it for you in minutes.

if you have mIRC then type

/dns <ip>

It will give you the hostname. The hostname will give out the ISP in it.

68.x.x.x = Comcast
12.x.x.x = AT&T
24.x.x.x ... 65.x.x.x = @Home if they're still around

hope this helps

1Cust189.tnt2.salt-lake-city.ut.da.uu.net

That's the one I got from /dns on mIRC.

I can't figure out his ISP just from that though.

Any and all help is appreciated.

68.....also = Cox "High speed internet service!" when it works.....

host doesn't necessarily tell u the ip... mostly with dialup accounts My single prodigy dialup account has 5 access #'s within 10 miles or so of me, and each access number gives me a different host. Very useful sometimes I get splitrock.net, algx.net, sanfrancisco.level3.net, pacbell.net, and something else

 

whois, finger, host.

viper, why would you trace route if you have his ip?

<< whois, finger, host. >>

I dunno about that... I wouldn't finger a host I didn't know.

If you traceroute to the IP, you'll see hosts. network names.

I have cox high speed internet, and my ip starts with 207

Search for the ip here:

12.x.x.x = AT&T
24.x.x.x ... 65.x.x.x = @Home if they're still around >>



Thoes are top level addresses. Thoes companies do not own thoes.

The question was to what ISP the IP is being used under, not who owns it.

Not one single ISP controls 24.x.x.x. or 65-68.x.x.x

A vast majority are used by those ISPs. How hard is that for you to understand?

Hes using UUnet backbone, if not complete UUNet access as his ISP in Salt-Lake City.

He could also be spoofing his IP and host name if he knows what he is doing.

UUNet/Worldcom

how is he harrassing you?

if it's legitimate harrassment like emails I would think you could contact your ISP and ask them to look into it. they know how to look up that kind of info, and then they could contact the other ISP.

 

[chickendinner]

if you got his IP you can do quote a bit of damage to him.....got a friend thats "computer savvy"? give him the guy's IP, he'll know what to do.

fyi, traceroute will not work, if he/she has ICMP destination unreachable blocked.

@Home will still be around until the 28th of this month...for some at least.

This morning my service was changed to AT&T I suppose b/c now my ip starts with the 12.x...
Sucks though...I could pretty regularly get speeds of around 240-320kb/s download speeds, now it looks like there's a max set at around 175-180kb/s

baps GtPrOjEcTX on the head with a dialup modem.

whats wrong with you, don't you know, some people will kill for such speed.
