Answer» Hi
I USE an application running under Facebook - it has a DISCUSSION board, and a couple of people often 'threaten' other posters on this board by displaying an IP ADDRESS and saying something LIKE "I know where you are!!"
By checking this IP address I realise that it is in fact the IP address of the 'threatened' poster's ISP and that person could therefore be 1 of millions using that ISP and so the 'threatener' does not know where the other person is at all - or at least they MAY know a certain geographical area but no more.
Can any one tell me how they are able to get this IP address? I assume they are PINGing a URL - but which one?
it happened with me many times . but for safety just change(renew) the ip address from the dos (disk operating system)....
