Natty Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 Does anyone know how to trace IP numbers in emails? I'm sick of my hotmail inbox been flooded with stupid emails from addresses that don't exsist, I have a good feeling I know who it is, but I can't proove it coz I need the ISP. So is there a programme or something that I can download to check the IP? Also is anyone else getting stupid emails that flood your inbox? ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Thrik Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 Well if the addresses don't exist, the ip is most likely a spoofed one, so the ip will be different each time it's sent. Anyway about your question.....my email client shows me the ip in the header of the email anyway, so you might wanna check your header etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natty Posted May 26, 2001 Author Share Posted May 26, 2001 Nevermind... I checked and the ISP is different everytime, but does anyone recognize these ISP's or know what country they come from? 62.7.2.249 213.122.236.146 213.104.228.59 62.7.74.240 ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

brief Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 In Hotmail, go to "Options," and then look for "Preferences." Scroll down a little bit, and you should see a section for "Message Headers" under "Other Hotmail Options." Change the setting to either "Full" or "Advanced." Then, when you view a message, you'll see exactly where it came from. The trick, however, is being able to decipher which one is the originating address. For help in this regard, try taking a look at http://www.spamcop.com/ ------------------ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, which is the company that gives you Internet access. What you've provided us is the IP Address. IP stands for Internet Protocol, and the address is assigned to either individual servers, or to a proxy server. When your computer is connected to the Internet, it also becomes a server of sorts. Anyway, with that out of the way, with the exception of the third one, the IPs you've provided all trace back to btinternet.com. 213.104.228.59 traces back to ntl.com. ------------------ An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world.

Natty Posted May 26, 2001 Author Share Posted May 26, 2001 And that means what? LOL I have no idea... so my ISP is optushome right? But my IP is 111.5.22.89 or whatever it is (that isn't my IP I just made that up to demonstrate) so some IP's change everytime you log in right? So it's possible it's the same person, but because the IP changes everytime I've got no way of prooving it? I've got cable so I know my IP stays the same all the time ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Guest grannen Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hi Natty! Let's try to find the cowards and have their ISP to take care of them! 62.7.2.249 62.7.74.240 213.122.236.146 They have been supplied by www.btinternet.com in England, GB. Send the info re the abusive letters to abuse@btinternet.com 213.104.228.59 Supplied by www.ntlworld.com , Edinburgh Site. Send info to abuse@ntlworld.com Send copies of the letters and their IP address and the date and time (GMT) to resp. ISP abuse address. Also right click on the header for the letter and send a copy of the information provided there. If they are using a modem, the IP address will change when they reconnect but that is no problem for the ISP to identify them if they also have the date/time and the header info. It is not possible for us to track down to the last numbers. We can only find who has provided the address and send the complaint to the ISP. If this is their first complaint they might only get a warning, otherwise (or if the abuse is repeated) they will be disconnected by their ISP! Hopefully someone is reading this and is now Very Nervous! ------------------ and Grannen [This message has been edited by Grannen (edited May 26, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 26, 2001 Author Share Posted May 26, 2001 Thanx for all the help guys, I don't know anything about tracing emails or IP numbers other than everyone has a diff number or something. I think I know who it is (Try clues and hints forum ) I'm willing to give an ultimatum, whoever this person is, has until the end of the weekend to admit that it was them, or I will send those IP's to the ISP companies concerned and let them know exactly what is going on, and believe me, I will do it too ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

Guest grannen Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 I don't know how they looks like in your case but I suppose you can right click somewhere on the e-mail and get more info about it?

Guest grannen Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 One click on the message in the list where it says From so the header turns blue. Right click on the blue header and then click on the bottom choice (don't know what it is in English. The top says Open) Select "Information" and you will find a line: X-originating-IP:[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] That's the one!

Guest grannen Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 I checked some other e-mails and my answer seems to be not 100% true. Some Information doesn't have the X-originating info.

Those addresses only says that they belongs to hotmail.com. You have probably not found the correct ones that should belong to the sender. Check my PS in the other post re the www-address to find the sender. ------------------ and Grannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 27, 2001 Author Share Posted May 27, 2001 OK, I'm convinced that the people who flooded my hotmail inbox are GuybrushStupidNumbers and Roving Gangster aka Raven Image or whatever his friggen name is The proof is as follows... RovingGangster signed my guestbook calling me a bit*h, so I decided to check out that IP addy and that traced back to NTL.com just like one of the IP's did that flooded my hotmail I then proceeded to check the IP's of the emails I had from stupidnumbers and check those IP's out and they all traced back to btinternet.com Another piece of proof is that in some of the emails the CC is to thenetpenguin@aol.com Some people may say it's hardly conclusive evidence, but considering what's happened they're definatly in it together and roving is probably that fag Bob__O too Don't I make a great detective? But thanx everyone else too, once I'm rich and famous I'll remember to give you say maybe $1000 because I'm so nice ------------------ Check Out My New Homepage, And Sign The Guestbook, Otherwise I'll Be Upset!

brief Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I would suggest that you guys NOT use Outlook Express for your e-mails... It is the most virus-prone e-mail client out there. Virtually all of the virus programs out there that propagate via e-mail goes through Outlook Express (especially the worms), and if people weren't using Outlook Express to receive those messages, most of those viruses cannot spread. Use Netscape's Messenger or something like Eudora, instead... You'll be safer that way. ------------------ The greatest oxymoron of all time--Microsoft Works.
