Hello Paul, Already checked it with whois weeks ago. I know this feature with whois . . . you can do it from xterm too, with: whois <ip-address> or whois <website> Its strange that it runs over Amsterdam and then is ending in the gulf of guinea (check out with program geotrace; available on sourceforge.net) This is not my provider, who usually should administrate my e-mail account . . . (?!) > whois.ripe.net > ripe looks after European IP addresses. > > What to you mean by "occupied the email-server"? I mean, my provider is not behind this e-mail-server any more with his ip-addresses . . . instead it is diverted over Amsterdam leading to gulf of guinea with 193.0.0.135 ???? > Paul. > On Sat, 17 Aug 2002 18:24, * wrote: > > Hello dear Linuxers, > > > > Sorry for this Off Topic question, but will not do it often. > > Does anybody know what is behind 193.0.0.135 ??? > > Is this a satellite or something else ? > > > > I tried to trace it back a bit, and it ends in the gulf of guinea. > > (with geotrace) > > > > It seems that this ip has occupied the e-mail server at my provider > > and knows each time, when I am online and when not . . . though this > > ip-addy is not my provider . . . > > > > I checked anything through.
