harlote-ga: The IP address 68.91.11.64 can be resolved back to a domain name by using the 'ping -a 68.91.11.64' command from a command prompt on an Internet-connected computer. It is also possible to use an online tool such as network-tools.com to run this same test: http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=ping&Netnic=whois.arin.net&host=68.91.11.64 You will see that the name for this address is: adsl-68-91-11-64.dsl.tulsok.swbell.net This is an ADSL customer of Southwest Bell, located in Tulsa, OK (information implied from the naming convention used by SWBell.net). As SWBell does not use static IP address assignment, and as the address currently does not respond to ping requests, it is not possible to determine who exactly was using this address at the time you first noticed it. If you came across this address as a result of reviewing a firewall log, or as a result of receiving spam, chances are that the user who was using that address has a computer that has been infected by one of the countless viruses or worms that turn the computer into an unwitting agent for the virus/worm author's own maliscious purposes.

SW Bell might be able to tell who was assigned that IP address at any particular time, depending on how they log address use. They probably wouldn't do that for a private individual though. |
