Hey Kevin,

As for the US, you can go to http://www.arin.net/whois/ and type in the IP
address. That will in most cases give you the ISP that the user/company
you're looking for leases their IP block from, and you should be able to
contact their administrative contact and request information about the IP
address/block you're interested in - especially if you've had a hacker
attach, etc.

As for outside US, you can try http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois or
http://www.apnic.net/.

Hth,

Ole

Dear Group,

I've seen this talked about now and then but I haven't had a need to use it
-
until now.

Say, 212.181.157.94 - a user on hotmail is starting to get abusive and the
headers indicate the email originated from that address.

What tools are available to get a handle on an IP address that is causing
problems?
