Subject: IP tracing

I HATE bashers & bashing...So in light of the Christmas spirit, I am going to share this with ALL of you. So get it and get it quick before its deleted because you ALL will want this info if you do not have it already. We no longer compete in pageants but I see the bashing every day and its so cruel and mean, if enough people have this info, then maybe a end will come to all of these ugly boards (Click in) -- Anonymous, 21:55:43 12/08/05 Thu [1]
IP addresses are used for that very purpose, especially in a forum or board. If the people defacing the board were stupid enough to do it from their home computer with its internet connection, then you have a really good chance of finding out exactly who it is. Everyone's ISP (internet service provider) logs what IP they give to their customers, and every website generates a log of the IP's that connect to it. One simple trick you can try? Start > Run > type in "cmd" In the command prompt, type in "tracert X" X = the IP address of the user This will follow the path that your connection takes to the location of the other person's IP address, usually their ISP. Pay attention to the end of the log, which is where the other person's ISP domain name usually comes into the picture. Whatever domain name (.net,.com,etc.) that you see near the end, try going to their website. If the website is an ISP, then send an e-mail to them regarding what happened, and the logged IP, and how you traced it back to them. You should be able to get some help from the ISP. If on the other hand the person did this from a public computer or connection, it will be hard to find specifically who do it. Either way you will have their home town and if its their personal computer that they are bashing on, then you will also get their home telephone #
