AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around tracing the exact location of a computer using the IP address 195.93.21.33, which is identified as being in London, UK. Users express frustration with inaccurate tracer programs and the limitations of these tools, noting that they typically reveal the location of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) rather than the user's specific home address. Suggestions for tracing programs include VisualRoute 2005 and various online tools for traceroute and whois lookups. Participants clarify that large websites use multiple servers and caching, complicating the tracing process. There is skepticism regarding claims of famous individuals on the forum, and it is emphasized that IP addresses can be masked using proxies, making precise location tracking unreliable. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenges of accurately determining a user's location through their IP address.

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.
