JPS1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Usually you will not learn the actual name of the person at that IP address (e.g. Joe Smith). ISPs will typically only release such information under a court order but you maybe able to get a location out of it from some where like here but you may have to sign up?otherwise try googling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
