Failing that, or if you dont mind combing your hair with a towel, you can see who owns that chucnk of address space, with rwhois, or maybe still whois look ups, stepping up an octet as you go.. for instance whois 100.1.1 if nothing whois 100.1 if nothing whois 100 if nothing, then give in and run a traceroute! :) On Thu, 17 Dec 1998, ryanm wrote: > Could someone tell me how I can get as much information pertaining > to a specific class C as possible??
