 | View Full Version : Looking for an online IP Block lookup utility Deb Suran 08-02-2001, 03:16 PM I need an online IP block lookup utility so I can report spammers. I got spammed by webstream.net (63.77.159.252) today, and have been unable to find out who owns the IP block they're in. Any help out there? Tracert just times out. TIA.

Deb Suran 08-02-2001, 05:45 PM Thanks, Jay -- I'll complain anyway, although I know it probably won't do me any good... Hmm, that link doesn't work for me. slade 08-02-2001, 05:52 PM These have become my two favorite links for "enlightening" unlimited/unmetered hosts: http://www.arin.net/ http://www.ripe.net/ JayC 08-02-2001, 06:09 PM Originally posted by Deb Suran Hmm, that link doesn't work for me. I just tried it, and it is working for me. You could also just go to samspade.org and choose the "IP Whois" utility from there. Sometimes ARIN times out on such requests, so that might be what happened to you when it didn't work. brav0 08-02-2001, 07:12 PM Try www.domainwhitepages.com Works great, I use it all the time. It gives: Network whois Domain whois DNS records Traceroute Service scan all in one page SoftWareRevue 08-02-2001, 07:59 PM Originally posted by brav0 Try www.domainwhitepages.com Works great, I use it all the time.

I like it! :D Deb Suran 08-03-2001, 09:45 AM Thanks, brav0 -- just what I needed. drhonk 08-06-2001, 12:58 PM Just use whois utility in your unix box .. or linux.. whois -h whois.arin.net <ip address> Joana 04-26-2002, 01:26 PM We got spammed by them (webstream.net ) yesterday.. They went to the "contact us" page and sent the spam to all addresses on that page.. insiderhosting 04-26-2002, 01:30 PM hey Joana, They did the same thing to me as well. Noldar 04-26-2002, 01:33 PM Yep, webstream.net got me too. Why in the world would a web host spam other web hosts? Richard SoftWareRevue 04-26-2002, 01:51 PM They must be pulling our addresses from somewhere. :( I doubt if it's off our sites. My guess would be from somewhere we're all listed. Because not all of our addresses got spammed. Only "sales@." :D akashik 04-26-2002, 02:14 PM you guys haven't been listing your e-mail addresses on this forum by any chance have you? contact me at sales@yadda, or have it in your signatures? Sounds to me like someone spidered this forum in the hope of nabbing addresses to potential hostee's Bit of a silly idea considering the host ratio here :) Greg Moore Joana 04-26-2002, 02:16 PM our Support, Sales and Billing (??) emails got Spammed..none were listed here.. :confused: Noldar 04-26-2002, 03:04 PM Me too. They hit support, sales, and billing. Interestingly they didn't email abuse, which is also listed on my contact page :D Richard Joana 04-26-2002, 03:35 PM I think I will drop our business and go with their hosting.. :D ------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Our records indicate that the following information may be helpful to you?
