Just tried this for my own IP (public) and it returned full details of my ISP. Useful for tracing the source of an IP, and then the ISP could trace back who was allocated that IP if required.

Adam,
Surely I can't do a whois lookup (altho i haven't tried) if my service provider gives me just an IP but no dns entry?
I'm thinking if the trend started (blocking IPs), there must've been a good reason. It is blocked even in my org.
Cheers, Prash

You can do WHOIS lookups on IP addresses. This will give you the organization responsible for that address, and you can contact them.
