Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around attempts to locate a computer using the IP address 195.93.21.33. Participants explore the limitations of IP tracing, the potential for proxies to obscure true locations, and share tools and methods for tracing IP addresses. The conversation includes both technical inquiries and anecdotal experiences related to IP address tracing.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims the IP address is located in London.
  • Another suggests that if a proxy is used, the actual location could be anywhere.
  • A participant mentions that tracing can identify the ISP's location but not the user's home address.
  • Some participants express interest in finding effective tracing programs and share links to tools.
  • One participant shares a detailed whois lookup result, indicating the IP is associated with AOL in the UK.
  • Another warns that large service providers use multiple servers, complicating the tracing process.
  • There are claims that some have successfully traced home addresses through IP addresses, but this is met with skepticism.
  • One participant mentions a tool that suggests the IP is in Brooklyn, NY, but cautions that IP addresses can be faked.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the exact location of the IP address or the effectiveness of various tracing methods. Multiple competing views remain regarding the reliability of IP tracing and the potential for proxies to mislead results.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the inability to pinpoint exact home locations from IP addresses, reliance on the accuracy of tracing tools, and the potential for proxies to obscure true geographical data.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals looking to understand IP tracing, those curious about the limitations of such methods, and users seeking recommendations for tracing tools.

Hey i was wondering if someone could tell me the exact location of the computer from the ip address 195.93.21.33 . There is a person on this forum saying they are a famous person and we are unable to accurately check because of inaccurate tracer programs, so if anyone could trace that for me it would be appreciated.
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
It is in London.
 
If they are using a proxy they could be anywhere.
 
I know it is in Uk and when I've tried to trace i got to london but then timed out and apparently it is from aol uk, so is there no way to get to the actual town or no? Thanks for the help by the way.
 
You can trace the location of their ISP using traceroutes, not their home location.
 
How would one find their home location?
 
I've read first hand accounts of people being able to trace somebody's home address and phone number through IP addresses. You'll have to check out forums specifically for that kind of thing you're looking for.
 
i am interested;
whats the name of a good tracing program
and if anyone can give me the link to download it?
thanks

thanks guys, u've been so helpful
i've downloaded the "visualroute 2005"
let's say
i want to trace a hotmail address
i typed it in the right place
and then
they gave me 4 serves:

mx1.hotmail.com(reston)
mx2.hotmail.com(ashburn)
mx3.hotmail.com(redmond)
mx4.hotmail.com(chicago)

well I am just a beginner in those stuff.
i have some questions:
are these cities where the main server for msn exists?

and when i get the results they give me several ip's
on the 4 servers (mx1.mx2...) which one is for the address i typed?

i guess that's all until now.
basic questions.
lol
:)

Your going on a wild goose chase. Large websites and service providers don't just use one server for their traffic. They cache the page at various locations, so if one server goes down, then you still have backup systems. One of the companies that does caching is Akamai. It was not to long ago Microsoft's website was being cached by Akamai's Linux servers.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: why would someone famous say they're famous.. "hi, I'm famous"

im famous to, :). None of the websites that track ip can tell you exactly were people are, most are off a city or two, or not close at all if they use proxys as dduardo said.

I have been experimenting with this stuff a lot...The best one I have found is:

www.geobytes.com

Itz telling me that this address is in Brooklyn NY, US. But you need to be aware that anyone can use a software to fake their IP addresss.
