Title: How do I find and IP address Post by: Saxondale on Monday, November 14, 2011, 15:08:56 Hello Techy types
Any idea how I find an IP address that an email has been sent from? Title: Re: How do I find and IP address Post by: stfcinbmth on Monday, November 14, 2011, 15:24:13 Open email, right click the mail and if your mail proggy is similar to Opera you should have an options box open up, look for View all Headers and cllick it

Just nice to be able to track down someone spreading rumours! Title: Re: How do I find and IP address Post by: jonny72 on Monday, November 14, 2011, 20:47:50 Once or twice, but not this time. Just nice to be able to track down someone spreading rumours! Make sure you understand the headers properly before making any accusations, as certain info in them can be faked. I wouldn't view the results as gospel even when using a professional tool to do the analysis. Title: Re: How do I find and IP address Post by: Saxondale on Monday, November 14, 2011, 21:01:02 Yeah, Im not making any accusations on it. Just giving some people some information. Someone who used to work for the band Im with bears a grudge, and we've narrowed down the ip address to his hometown. Which is nice.
Spent a very enjoyable afternoon being a private eye on this! Title: Re: How do I find and IP address Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, November 14, 2011, 21:29:29 oooh gossip

Which is nice. Geo-location from IP address is extremely hit or miss. Depends who the ISP is and which one of their servers you come 'out' of their network at and into the WWW. For instance, my IP often says I'm in London. |
