How can I get the IP address from someone else website? Someone is making a joke at work and gotta know were that web comes from, and I need to get their IP to know their address, not sure

Depends on what you mean by "from someone else's website". If you want the IP address of the website (like, say, this one) then in a command shell:

ping ask-leo.com

where ask-leo.com is replaced with the domain name of the website who's IP address you want.

If you want the IP address of someone who *posted* on a website (like you just did here), then you cannot get the IP address without the help of the owner of the website you're talking about.

Can someone find out my actual email address from my IP address without help of ISP

It would be *extremely* difficult.

Hi,

Is there a program to determine all the ip address of the people i have chat in yahoo messenger? Or to be more specific I just wanna find a way how to get the IP address of the people whom I chat or emailed?

I'm not a spammer, I was just amazed because I chatted with someone in the Internet and we emailed each other, in a matter of seconds he was able to tell me what time is it in my place and my location as well as Internet Service Provider. Our only means of communication is Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo mail.

I would really appreciate a help on this one.

Thanks in advance!

Dear Leo,
My daughter made her on site at piczo and there is one using this particular IP address saying bad stuff. Im just wondering if I will be able to find out this particular IP address but the problem is that this particular IP address have the same IP address who are defending my daughter.

Yep. It's likely that the IP address represents a router or corporate firewall (or even AOL's firewall), so that perhaps several, or even thousands of different users and computers all share the same IP address.

I own an online store and sell on auction sites. People send me their orders via email so I am able to obtain their ip address using the headers. What I want to know is can I use this information to verify that the address they provide for shipping of the items they purchase? Some people will send me their shipping address and it will end up being a false address, can I do a who is to verify that they are sending the email from the same Country State and City as the shipping address they provided??? Thanks Heather
