(NETBLK-NETCOMBLK-254-NSPE) 1735 Technology Drive, # 300 San Jose, CA 95110 US Netname: NETCOMBLK-254-NSPE Netblock: 204.31.162.0 - 204.31.162.255 Coordinator: ICG PST Hostmaster (NETCOM-HM-ARIN) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 408-579-5000 Record last updated on 16-Feb-1999. Database last updated on 8-Aug-2000 17:55:56 EDT. I guess you should contact the ICG PST hostmaster if you are interested in pursuing the case. The system in question is a RedHat Linux machine btw. How I found out? I accidentally pasted the IP address into the wrong field (browser address field instead of the HTML page's form field) and got an according web page. Bye Volker PS: The MAC address most probably is the one of your (next) router and thus of no further interest.
