TheTerrorist_75 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Not unless you are in the legal profession and get a subpoena to obtain the information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fubz Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 well that sucks.... what ever happened to the freedom of information act? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 well that sucks.... what ever happened to the freedom of information act?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That act requires the government to make records public. Privately-owned ISPs are not the government.There are tools to find the general region (the city, maybe), but that's as precise as you're gonna get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappy Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 What type of "Problems" are you experiencing here?Depending on what is happening, there are options for some things, but tracking the IP to a specific person is very difficult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for region/city, you can check a site like this one can find the lcation of the closest hub to that sepcific IP address.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naraku9333 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) This site will probably get you as close as possible for free. To get an exact address you would need the ISP to cooperate which is extremely unlikely, but if this person is breaking their TOS you can report them.
