How do you find someone name from IP address?

Answer 1

There are two types of IP addresses: public and private IP adresses. Private IP's are categorized into 5 classes ranging from A to E. Ever since the growth of tcp/ip networks, engineers have associated a name such as: Google with a public IP address. We accomplish this through DNS which primarily translates these names to IP addresses and vice versa. If you would like to look up the name of a public IP addresses or find it's registrar use the program WHOIS. For private IP addresses you would first have to be connected to the network then you would view your local DNS records.
