How to trace an IP address ?

Nowadays a lot of people use Proxy server to post message onNewsgroup.

I am wondering if anyone know how to trace a user's real IP address that is hidden behind the proxy server ?

Try this free program (NeoTrace) that gives you a graphical trace. It's the freeware version of one that law enforcement has used for tracing. Try it with an ISP in another continent and you may be suprised at the route the signal takes. Very educational. If someone uses a proxy, it will only report the proxy address, but you will be partway there. (http://www.networkingfiles.com/PingFinger/Neotraceexpress.htm)

After you trace the IP with some of the websites mentioned above, then you may still want to know who is the person behind the IP number and figure out why they are contacting you. Your can find out by running an SPAM & search includes: Current phone number, address, address history for 30 years, age, birthdates, household members, relatives, associates, property ownership, lawsuits, marriage, divorce, criminal records check, sex offenders, terrorist watch, bankruptcy, tax liens, and more stuff.

pilott, please don't dig up old topics to post in. Read our rules before posting.

If you do a 'whois' of a domain name/website/IP address, you will just get the registered owner of that site, along with it's listed location, not necessarily the person who you are looking for. For example a 'whois' of a AOL address won't give any info on the 100,000+ members that use the service. And all the information that site you list might give you is a matter of public record and there is no guarantee there is any info available there beyond basic information that can be obtained freely.
