HOW TO TRACE IP ADDRESSHOW TO TRACE IP ADDRESS

HOW

Trace an IP Address

Whenever you get

online,your computer is

assigned an IP address. If

you connect through the

router, all of the

computers on that

network will share a

similar Internet Protocol

address; though each

computer on the network

will have a unique Internet

address. An IP address is

the Internet Protocol (IP)

address given to every

computer connected to

the Internet. An IP

address is needed to send

information, much like a

street address or P.O. box

is needed to receive

regular mail. Tracing an IP

address is actually pretty

straightforward, and even

though it's not always

possible to track down a

specific individual, you

can get enough

information to take action

and file a complaint.
