Paul In addition to the whois suggested by others, you may want to look at the tools included with most DNS packages. Some of them can be quite helpful. One problem you may encounter is that if someone surfs to my_website.com, and you capture the IP address, and then do a look-up, you may find out that the IP address points to virtual_host.net, and not my_website.com Same thing with tracking dial-in accounts, right now the person connected to 192.168.100.1 may not be the same person 10 minutes from now, while the broadband connections tend to maintain the IP address for a longer period of time, they are still dynamic by nature. __ Do you Yahoo!?
