IP address

Can someone help me A friend of mine has Facebook and they cannot login.

Their password was change and the fackbook gave the IP addresses below

81.178.216.192

87.194.63.0

Can someone find out which part of London this person is at?

Thank you

Probably not.

The first IP is in the range Tiscali use. Since probably all of their customers have dynamic IP addresses, you'd need to get access to BT's (They own the DSL network that everyone else resells) DHCP logs. Which would almost certainly require a court order.

The second IP belongs to BE. The same situation would apply there. Again the IPs will be dynamic most probably. BE do do local loop unbundling but I doubt they'd be any more helpful than Tiscali/BT.

You won't be able to narrow down the location.

Can the person not regain access to their facebook account by text message or email account?

What you could do is email abuse@pipex.net and report the person's IP address.

Could one of them be my IP address because I tried to log on for them to change their password etc.

My IP address starts with192, the first one finishes 192

An address which starts with 192 is a local address of your network.

We have tried but no luck, I will do that Trancersteve, thanks for the info.

Here is a great site if you want to see on a map the general area an IP address is located.

Interesting.. I just tried mine, and at least it showed up in Tokyo, except it was located at the Japanese Emperors Imperial Palace... hmm.. Now everyone knows who I am..

LOL! At least yours was close. I just did mine and it says I’m in Kansas even though I’m in Eastern PA. That’s the problem with having a giant ISP like Comcast. They have IPs all over the place and use them wherever.

Not even remotely true. Only 0.39% of the 192.X.X.X address space is reserved for private networks. http://192.150.16.64 is a perfect example. Click on that, and you’ll end up at Adobe’s website.

One of those instances where being ‘technically correct’ might not be at all helpful. Most routers distribute IP addresses in the 192.168.xx.xx or the 10.0.x.x range.

It is most probable that if someone checks their own IP address and comes up with a 192.xxx.xx.xx address, they are pinging the local address distributed by their linksys/belkin/?? router which is assigning values automatically over a LAN and which all connect to one DHCP address.

Are there any residential ISPs that distribute DHCP IPs in the 192 spectrum? There may well be, but I’ve not encountered one.
