ip address tracing

z4955

how do you trace an ip address? I'm not looking for anyone's exact location.. just mainly city/state/country and how accurate can it be

Ok, if u have the ip address, then u have to cionvert it to the ip number and then on referring to some datasheet u can match this ip numer to its location

Try using a reverse lookup tool. This will give you information (if the user sumbitted to interNIC allowing info to be published) on the 'owner' of the IP address.... Endusers typically do NOT own IP addresses, but ISP's do... So you could probably find the ISP who owns the IP address then you could find which country the ISP is located in...

hmmmm what you talking about?
