I have found a brilliant site where you can find anything you want on IP addresses and domains
http://www.webyield.net/domainquery.html
I use it all the time.If i get an attempted hit by someone I get the IP and bar the range ie,84.0.0.0 to 84.255.255.255

hi, i would like to find out who owns this IP address 81.132.12.120, please can you help me find out because they are really anoyying me now..PLEASE can anyone help me, i will really appreciate it thank you!.

Just follow the instructions in the article. You can typically NOT find out who, specifically, is at that address. Only the ISP that owns it.

hi how can i find out who this ip address is, i tried using the arin thing but it doesnt really tell much, this person was talking crap on my web site, they left a comment on the chatter box, and i got this ip 68.40.206., when i looked it up on the arin site it gave me 2 other ips, i looked up the first one on this map site and it said westbloomfeild mi, then i looked this one up 68.41.255.255, its the other ip the arin site gave me , and this ip is in annarbor mi, the city i live in.. so im guessing thats the ip im looking for but either way, id like to know who this person is, so if you caould please help me and give me any info you can that would be great.

You cannot tell who owns an IP address, only the ISP who owns the IP address. No one person every owns an IP address. It is leased for a specified time period. If something unlawful was done, then contact the abuse@*** address for the ISP(Don't bother with KORNET, they dont reply to anything, they are the Korean Government's Manager for IPv4)... Stop asking "how do I find out who owns this" It sounds as bad as asking "How do I find out someone's IP address"... For the most part, if you need to ask, you dont need to know...

I NEED A LOT OF HELP!
I am no good at this computer thing, basically i simply need to know one thing...
There is a xanga called www.xanga.com/ebksucks
it is absolutely imperative i find out the owner of that site
if you can tell me how to, please email me at Miata1188@sbcglobal.net it is Highly appreciated thanks a lot.

You would have to talk to xanga.com's customer support. And I doubt they will tell you, for privacy reasons.

The http://www.webyield.net/domainquery.html is very good. I was looking for such a site myself. Thanks

I have a tracker on a link in my profile and instead of letting whoever it is leave their SN there, because they dont want me to kno who they are...they are leaving horrible messages telling me to die and stuff...i was just wondering if there was anyway that you could track down who's IP address is 68.98.150.91....i kno what city they are in but that doesnt tell me who it is...if you could please help me that would be great! thanks!
