IP addresses

Does anyone (Des) know a trustworthy way to track down IP addresses?

Track IP addresses? It's tricky, you would need to capture it the IP first then you could use ARIN to see who owns it - most likely an ISP or internet business. Unfortunately you would not be able to tell who used the IP without a good reason for the owner/admin of the IP range.
Hm, alright. I was just curious about may be being able to get a general location as to where the address is coming from. I am one of those people with a tracker on my page =) and I saw some interesting activity yesterday. The tracker gives the IP address but I'm skeptical of the locations because it doesn't even have my location right.
You're right to be skeptical. I manage 2 Class B ranges and I would set this IPs in multiple cities - NYC, NJ, Stamford, Philly, Chicago, London and if you found my IP, it would be registered here in NYC.

You could try http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation

It has an easy user interface to give you an idea who the person's local ISP is.
