Hi gagaga12345-ga,

Good day and thanks for your question. What you are looking for is
called reverse DNS lookup, which converts IP addresses (in
###.###.###.### format) to the hostname (which is the "English"
address according to your question).

If you use Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 or Linux/UNIX/Solaris, you can use
the 'nslookup' command from the command prompt.

C:> nslookup <IP>


e.g. consider the IP (random) 64.39.7.208

It returns the following:

Name:    saturnweb.linuxengine.net  (hostname)
Address:  64.39.7.208               (IP)


Alternatively, you can get the information from sites which reverse
DNS IP addresses.
http://remote.12dt.com/rns/ is a good site for this

I hope this answers your question. If you have any clarifications,
please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for using this service and have a nice day.

Warm regards,
aditya2k

The thought crossed my mind. By addresses, did you mean mailing addresses?

If so, then http://www.checkdomain.com is the place to look for them

It seems no, but if it's a major company then it may work. Mine
didn't, and other people's didn't, so there you are.
