Hello tej,

I'm unsure as to how you would do this in Java but there are plenty of websites online that can pinpoint a computers location via the IP address.

These look really good:

Wrong, the IP redirects you to the provider, not the computer/network itself..

i think XD

Hmm... If that is the case, how come you can connect to your computer remotely using the IP address?

Sites that try to pinpoint the computers location via the IP normally locates the ISP location rather than the exact location of the PC.

ahh ok, yeah I think ur right :rolleyes:

Re: finding location of ipaddress

Yeah ur rite admin.
But have dis.This is a small test program for the IPv6 reverse lookup functionality. IPv4 reverse lookup test:

# java lookupAndReturn mocha.cs.ucl.ac.uk
IPv6 reverse lookup test
# java lookupAndReturn -6 mocha.cs.ucl.ac.uk
Successful output on IPv6 reverse lookup test:
The initial hostname is: mocha.cs.ucl.ac.uk
The IP address is: 2001:630:13:101:2e0:18ff:fe34:150b
The reverse lookup hostname is: mocha.cs.ucl.ac.uk

Source Code:

Code :

/* This is a test program -written by Sheng JIANG - UCL
Febuary 2004
This program read the hostname from the command line as argument.
Then translate the IP address into hostname and display on the screen.
Then using that IP address for reverse lookup and display return hostname.
The success result will output hostname, rather than IP address.

Re: finding location of ipaddress

But isn't the IP address taken from the proxy (if any)? They could very well be using a proxy service, and all you'd get is the proxy's IP.

If they are using a proxy then yes you would get the proxys IP. Basically making it impossible to trace them with these simple methods.
