| 826614 | 2009-11-03 02:45:00 | It's a little surprising they published the IP addresses of those accused - two are Ihug/Vodafone addresses, and one is WxC. Surely they would want to pursue legal action before releasing these details? How can you tell which ISP particular IPAs are from? |

| 826617 | 2009-11-03 02:59:00 | How can you tell which ISP particular IPAs are from? ISP's are assigned a specific range of IP address, and customers are allocated an IP address from within that range. For example, WxC (Xnet) have the range 118.90.x.x (I assume they have 118.90.0.0/16). One of the IP addresses in that article was within that range, therefore one can hazard a guess that a WxC customer was involved. |

| 826618 | 2009-11-03 03:04:00 | just to add, if the IP address is dynamic (meaning the user gets given a new IP from time to time), The IP address in question assigned to the user at the time and this can be determined off ISP logs. |

Yup - I punched the addresses into DNSStuff.com, which has a little tool which tells you who an IP address is registered to. |

| 826620 | 2009-11-03 03:39:00 | You can also do PTR lookups on them - most ISP customer IPs have PTR records set that contain the name of the ISP, and often which part (e.g. dialup, adsl, cable, business customers etc). | Erayd (23) | ||
