How do you find out whose IP address it is?

[Guest]

if you have an IP address...how can you find out...whose it is?

 

[Rajiv Sharma]

go to Command Prompt
and type "ipconfig /all"
and you can figure out your ip address.

Enter the IP address here: http://www.arin.net/whois/

It will tell you what prganization owns it. Usually this is an Internet
provider or a large corporation/institution. You won't really be able to
see who is actually *using it* (you would have to contact the owner of the
address block if you really need that information, and I doubt they will
provide it to you without a valid reason such as a court order.)

i did find out from my provider that it was Optimum but i needed to know whose it was...guess i will never find that out.thanks

There is usually no way, short of contacting the actual owner of the IP address, to find out who is actually using the IP address.

Only if Optimum will tell you who had that IP address at that moment,
and it is very likely they will not agree to divulge that information.
