One can then go to a site like http://www.webyield.net/domainquery.html and you can then see that the ip address is in RO = Romania *IP Address:* 81.181.94.66 *Hostname:* cyan.ew.ro or *81.181.94.66 is found in Romania *[image: Flag for Romania] and drilling down further ** contact: Aurelian Alexandru address: EUROWEB ROMANIA SA address: Nouveau Center address: 102 Lipscani, Et.3, sect.3 address: Bucharest, 030039 phone: +40-21-3076547 fax-no: +40-21-3076544 this is their website http://www.euroweb.ro/?p=index&qsearch=CAUTARE%20RAPIDA&from=&pag=1&lang=en ** but I think that they are just a provider of the web service e.g. maybe have an internet cafe, so Aurelian Alexandru is not the vampire idelia trader, just the web co boss. thanks Rob [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > In a message dated 2/9/2006 11:30:08 A.M.
