 Post subject: Using IP to work out identity?

I've got someone leaving anonymous comments on my LJ, and, basically... they're really creeping me out. I have no idea who the person is, but really want to know. All I've managed to determine from the IP address is that they live in Melbourne, but that doesn't really help.

Which brings me to the question. I have their IP (my options are set to logging anonymous commenters' IPs), but I dunno if it's even possible to work out who they are from that, as I'm not that great with technology :P

Any help would be greatly appreciated, so I can stop freaking out x.x


Gone, forever.

if melborne is a city, you aren't gonna be able to get much more specific.

you can try this script and see what happens (though it will probably just say AU - Australia) [i think its AU].

Code:
<?php
echo  ip2long("1.1.1.1"); // just put the IP address
?>


anyway, you can search on google for various other php functions that convert IP's to hostnames (such as for me it would be adelphia (my ISP))


Since these are no longer temporary forums, I will update my signature.

LJ has a section on harassment in their FAQ:
http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqb ... ?faqid=108

Perhaps that might help. Best of luck. :\
