| Question:
how can you go about finding tracing on isp number
Answer:
I'm going to assume you mean "IP number" like 3.15.235.47, to figure out
which ISP the IP address belongs to and maybe where it is located.
The place to start is ARIN - http://www.arin.net/ - put the IP address into the
Search Whois at the top. If the IP address is in North America, or was
originally assigned by the United States, it will return the name, address,
and contact information for the company that controls that IP address.
If the number was assigned by another agency, the response will direct you to
the correct IP block registrar - RIPE (Europe) APNIC (Asia) or LACNIC
(Central and South America). Each registry returns data in a different
format, but with similar information.
If you want to trace and see where a specific IP address is physically
located, you can use the tracert command built into windows (traceroute for
Linux) - Start / Run / cmd (command for older versions of windows)
A DOS window should open up - type
tracert 3.15.235.47 (use the address you are checking)
and you'll get back a path starting from you and going towards the other
computer. The major hubs on the internet often are identified by 3 digit
airport codes so you can see the path used. world-airport-codes.com is useful for looking up an airport code you don't know. |
