mrBENN Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) http://www.find-ip-address.org/? I used to have this code on my myspace that when someone viewed my profile it would give me their IP. I was only trying to find out who was viewing my profile because it got hacked and i was like what good is a IP address to me then i found this finder thing? i mean just by putting in the IP it showed where the person lived or is it wrong? I mean when i put my IP in it, it comes up with my road thats kinda worrying. Edited September 1, 2008 by ..Ben-Henderson.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Mine just comes up with where my ISP is based. So says London, with the IP belonging to F2S... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-i-t-c-h Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Bt Lines and BT Broadband run on 3rd party lines is inaccurate, something to do with it routing throught some hub (i duno someone told me once) but most other carriers are fairly close. Virgins fibreoptic broadband has your IP in the right place, apparently.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 The only reliable way of tracking anybody on your own is if they have a static address.Your ISP will have records on who was issued what address at the time in question; however, this is covered by the Data Protection Act and would require a court order to obtain this information (and only if they found the cause to be justified).I imagine any 'IP trackers' would just find the dhcp server of the ISP?

Simon Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I imagine any 'IP trackers' would just find the dhcp server of the ISP? It gets the location of the exchange usually, so for me, it actually gets my home town. Some however get the main exchange, so it comes back as Horsham, which is 30-40 miles away.Get a house/road address is not possible. May get lucky and get within 10 miles, but that's a vast area, don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Said I was somewhere in Cornwall? However it did say it belonged to Jersey Telecom, which is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Actually, just a thought but its all bollocks.The majority of home users are on dynamic addresses so it changes with each connection - you don't own or have any rights over a dynamic address and so is actually owned and registered to the ISP. So all IP tracking will do is trace back to the distributor (dhcp server) or the Network Operations Centre.But even with a static IP it will usually give details of the ISP as they rarely change the address records when you buy them.

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i often get them banners of adultfriendfinder saying 'find someone local in california NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'which is obviously routed bit too far away, since some of them say a place about 5 miles from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
