    unless they have some REALLY sophisticated tools, I doubt they could get anything more than a geographical area in which your IP routes through.

    need to know more background information..like, who are you dealing with and how did this start etc.. you may wish to contact your local authorities and your ISP if you feel you are in danger.

    are you on a wireless network? You can go to arin.net and find out info on ip addresses but it isn't so detailed as to find a specific. If they were in range of a wireless network they could get some info.... Are they threatening you by email? There is the header you could look at ... If you were to find out the ISP that a person was using you may be able to socially engineer the information out of the ISP. Or perhaps I could run a port scanner against your ip and find info such as a username then do a web search for posts with that username.... or any info with that username....

    They have your full name.

    They know you are on AOL.

    A little more information and/or a stupid AOL rep, and they can find out what they need to know.

    You don't have to be a hacker to get this kind of information.

    Don't use any sensitive information in Windows/Linux setups. Use a program such as Oubliette or put sensitive data on .txt's and encrypt them. Worked for me for years - granted, being behind 2 hardware firewalls + WEP encryption and Zone Labs helps also. Don't know if that helped at all, hope it did!

    I agree. Tell AOL what's going on, at least, They can track all traffic to and from your IP and e-mail if they want. They should help you, if they don't perhaps you should move on to something better.

    Now this is just the kind of information I AM looking for to locate someone who stole my daughters laptop. (I posted a thread under "Hope this is possible.) Her screen name keeps showing up on my AOL buddy list. Infact, it's on as I type this! I'm sorry this is happening to you, 82sirhc but, I'd sure like to find out how to locate the person I'm looking for.

    Take down their IP address, contact their isp.

    I'm not really sure how to do that. When I click on her screen name it shows "unconfirmed internet". I guess they forgot to turn it off because it shows they have been on for about 14 hours. This is the longest I've ever seen. I thought about trying to send an IM but, with my screen name (Lawdog) I'm afraid it might scare them off.

    If you are on aim, direct connect to the person and then go into the command prompt and use the netstat command to figure out what there IP address is. Then google for a site that will show you the location of the persons IP. I forgot what it was but there is one that will give you the city. I'm not sure about the address though since the website masks the last four numbers for secuirity reasons.

    Hmmm.

    So there is a Site that constantly read the Dynamic assignments of IPs from the AOL general pool, and gets immediate access to AOL Data Bases and tells you who is using the IP, and his address???

    Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. I do know the city, (Myrtle Beach), and since it's a tourist/college town, it could've been sold to someone else buy now. But, thanks again Neo! I'll let everyone know if it works. I've haven't seen my daughter's name on so far today.

    the closest you can possiply get on your own by tracking the ip is the CO of the person. this will give you pretty much the city. after that, only the ISP can find out who had that IP and where.
