RE: Newbie IP question

[MizzBtown]

Are IP addresses traceable back to previous owners by ISP since everytime you turn on your computer you get a new one?

 

[Trizoy]

Ip addresses are traceable to a certain geograpgic location, then the isp (owner of the IP) You can't track it to a persons pinpoin location, but the ISP does know where the subscriber lives. I think it is illegal to release this inofrmation wihtout a court order... and then verizon still does not like to do it.
If you use a router to hook many computers up, they will all have the same public IP, and that can change everytime you turn the routwer off or even every 24hrs...

Actually, the IP is tracable. Lets say you had IP address 10.10.10.10 from 2->4 pm , after that you log on at 6pm and you get another IP address. You are still tracable because in case of legal inquiry the ISP is going to be contacted and they have logs that identify which user had which IP at what time.

would it still be tracable if u use a proxy?

 

[shakoush2001]

I believe that you use a proxy properly that your real IP would not be tracable no more.

 

[Ba_Ba]

what you mean by "properly"???

 

[flame1117]

If your using it right.

whats a good and free proxy?

 

[Jay Chou]

Even you use proxy your IP is also tracable because you leave records on proxy server.

Even you use proxy your IP is also tracable because you leave records on proxy server.

but then not many people will have records of the server logs
