| At work I noticed that there is a wireless network available. I don't think it is part of my company's network because it doesn't go through a firewall. I suspect it is a network from the business on the other side of the wall from us. I have an IP (it isn't in the same range as our company's IPs) and I need to know how to find out who it is registered to. I've tried a Whois but it comes back unknown. |

bunghole, Go to your "START" menu, then "PROGRAMS",then "ACCESSORIES", then "MS-DOS PROMPT". When the DOS window is open, type "tracert" without the quotation marks, then a single space, then type in the IP number complete with the dots in thier correct place. Press the "ENTER" key on your keyboard, then wait until the trace runs completely. This will show you the path back to the IP/service provider and end at the PC that has that particular IP address. It might "time out" before it does a complete trace, but you can simply run it again. It may take several attempts depending upon how "busy" the server or routers are. If the particular IP number isn't active at the time, you can "PING" the IP address and see when it becomes active again. This stuff wont work on TELNET IP's as most of them are routed through satellites. That's real in orbit communication type satellites. Experiment and have fun. loose-round |

I've got a question r.e. tracing source of emails. I keep getting these Ebay "spoof" emails trying to get me to sign in to a fake site in order to get my Ccard info etc. I keep forwarding them to Ebay's security email but it doesn't do any good as far as stopping the emails. I did a tracert and traced the IP address from the email header 24.96.10.179 to a cable modem FWIW. How can I determine if this is a valid IP addy for the offender, an email address or the sender of this junk? I'd like to sign them up for a ton of porno sites, penis enlargement email etc. |

Rule #1 of tracking down spammers is to [b]never[/b] trust the header path beyond the machine that delivered the mail to your server - it's too easily forged. Anyhow: a quick check confirms that the netblock 24.96.0.0/17 is in fact allocated to GTE Intelligent Network in Irving TX. Forward the complete message(s) including the headers to "[email protected]", and be prepared for them to do little if anything about it even if they do determine that machine is the source of the emails. [%|] Your best bet is to get and use an anti-spam filter. |

What do you mean by a "telnet IP"??? pings by default time out in 20 seconds, even a high-latency link such as satellite should be able to tolerate it the vast majority of the time. Pings won't work if the remote host has been configured to not acknowledge echo broadcasts or multicasts, or if one of the routers along the path is blocking ICMP requests. |
