You can traceroute to it (Which should at least give you the upstream ISP) or you can do a whois against the IP like: whois -h whois.arin.net ip.ip.ip.ip substitute RIPE or APNIC's whois servers for whois.arin.net when dealing with non-North American IP's. This wil also give you the upstream ISP usually. Adam
