How can I locate someone remotely using their ip address?

Answer 1

Tracing an IP address is fairly simple. To trace a website ip address , use your computer's command console to ping the URL, then use an IP lookup to find out where it comes from. Similarly, to trace the Ip address of an email, find the IP address from the email header, then use a whois search or IP lookup to trace it back to its source.

Answer 2

You can't, it would be a very dangerous world if you could...some people might be able to but you have to be a hacker or have very advanced knowledge of computers to do it.

There is no relationship between an email address and a home address. However, there is header information in an email that includes the IP (internet Protocol) address from where the mail was sent and when it was sent. The IP address will tell you what (ISP) internet server provider (cablevision, optimum, Verizon, etc.) was used to send the email as well as the country from which it was sent.

The ISP has a record of what user account accessed the internet with that IP address at that time. The user account includes subscription information including the name and address of the subscriber. That information is usually not available to you unless the ISP wants to supply it or if there is a legal problem resulting in a court order.

Answer 3

You can use whois.net or other service that will "look up" the IP address or domain name. If the person has chosen "privacy" options the IP provider will be shown NOT the person or entity owning the domain.

Without a court order it is very difficult. You need to contact the registered owner of the IP address and request the information from them. Most will not disclose the address or user of an IP address without a court order due to privacy and cyberstalking concerns.

Answer 4

Yes - usually I will be able to find where you live.

Your service provider has to identify the routers they use, and where they are, and when you are Surfing and reach a site, this can trace every router that has passed on your message. Well, find the first router that you used, and query for the location of this, and I know pretty well where you live.

The obvious abuse is chatting: people you "chat" with can also trace you and find you.There are exceptions, such as Skype, that will route through an intermediate server to remove those traces. Here I would trace you to country or state, but not closer.

Google and US advertising companies wants this information to be able to better "channel" advertising to you.
