Track Location from IP

[rpawnikar]

Hi,

I have been getting some wierd messages from an ID, which I have added to my Google talk assuming as my friend, on google talk. My question is is it possible to know his location i.e which country is he from and he logs on to, by somehow tracking his m/c IP Address?

If you can obtain the IP address of the person, then yes, you will be able to know what country, general location, ISP, etc about the person. I've not used Google Talk enough to be know, but sometimes finding an IP from an IM type program can be a bit challenging.

Here is a website where you can verify an IP address and get that information. It will not tell you who the person is however. But, if you can get the IP it may be enough to tell you if it's the person you believed it to be.

The easiest way to obtain the IP address is from the routing information on an email. But, if this is someone you don't wish to have on your Google Talk list, it's also likely someone you don't want to have your email address too.

Good luck and I hope this helps a little to answer your question.

yes patndoris has forwarded very true website to check location of ip address.

Or you can search on google "Ip to location"
