Is there a way i can lookup someones physical address by their IP?

are you on the same network?





nbtstat -a ipaddress





after thought - oh you mean like 123 sesame street, cause when you say physical address to a sys admin im thinking mac or hostname. if you mean 123 sesame street - NO|||Your question is not clear the physical ip address for mac or for windows. Then i will give u the solution. Provided you can get the isp ip address from http://www.ip-details.com/

|||When you say physical address do you mean MAC address or their mailing address?





nbtstat -a will return their MAC address.





If you are talking about a mailing address, as in where they are physically located, you can go to www.samspade.org and do a whois which may give you the info you're looking for if they own their own IP address.





If you're talking about an individual on DSL/Cable then no. At best the IP address can give you and idea of region and from there you might be able to narrow it down further by using tracert but you're not going to get the specific physical address.|||very simple.





Just ping the system first and then run this command in dos prompt arp -a. u will den see the physhical addess of the lan card of remote system|||i think you can if you are on the same channel as them but I'm not sure|||No. You can get a general location but that is all. To get an actual physical location, you would need a court order.
