Is there anyway to do an iplookup and find the originating city?

When I do an iplookup on http://www.arin.net/whois/
It says it's from comcast communications, but is there away to narrow it down to a city?

You can run "tracert <ip address/domain name>" from a command prompt and it may give you a hint towards the final hop. Many major ISP's name their routers and the information shows up in a trace route.

Did you try the "City from IP" Tool on http://dnsstuff.com ?

Thanks! 🙂

Keep in mind, the city you get is usually the city where the ISP's router is. A customer can be in a completely different city and still get an IP from that router.

If it is a serious disturbance connect the ISP. Otherwise you are wasting your time.
