2/3     Is there any way to tell the physical location / vicinity of an IP
        address?
        \_ Well, you can find the owner through ARIN, and then you can do
           a little looking around for that company's info.  You can often
           get a rough sense from a traceroute as well.
        \_ There was some /. posting a while back about a company that can
           give you this information w/ 99.x% accuracy for the US and 9x%
           accuracy for the world.
        \_ In summary: yes, sort of, but not easily and not 100%.
        \_ In a related topic, what do you use to spoof your ip addie?
                \- this is hard to do generally with tcp if you expect
                   an answer. this is not really a related topic. --psb
           \_ Trying to stalk someone's Web page?
        \_ Is this in regard to the kid who killed himself while
           chatting?  His ISP should have been able to put an address
           to an IP, but they would have needed some serious convincing
           to do so.
