I.P. Address Search

[HellFire]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not. If not, could someone please direct me to the appropriate forum.

I wanted to know if anyone knew how to look up I.P. addresses? Is there a site where this can be done without spending $600 on an info search?

I'm getting some unusual reptile related emails that appear to be international. I'd like to know if they're legit or just another scam waiting to happen. They're not the typical cut and paste jobs that have been going around lately. Thanks,

Well, if you're using an email client such as Eudora, you'd be able to get the IP right away from the email.

Otherwise, all I can offer is to try

Start-Run-nslookup

-cat

You can go to http://www.arin.net/ and put the IP address in the search. It will tell you who owns it.

www.samspade.org is another useful site.

Those emails are completely ficticious. Everyone has been getting them. I also get them related to my small animals, as well as the products I sell on Ebay!

Try asking them for a phone number ha ha. See how soon they respond.
