Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 09:34:10 -0600 From: Richard Wayne <Richard.Wayne@EMAIL.SWMED.EDU> To: PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU Reply-To: Public-Access Computer Systems Forum <PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU> Message-Id: <s8e07c93.028@mednet.swmed.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I can describe one method. You can do a 'reverse dns lookup' on the numeric ip address. This will give you a name for the host. One reverse dns lookup service is: http://www.osilab.ch/services/dns_e.htm You can also do a 'whois lookup.' One whois service can be found at: http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois This may give you further insight into your visitors. Note that most people use commercial ISPs (Internet Service Providers) that dynamically assign ip addresses. This may lead you to an ISP, but not a company or person. Good luck.

It now tells me the numeric IP address of those trying to access my computer. I would like to be able to tell who they are. Can you tell me how to identify someone from this numeric IP address?
