72.191.163.46
Many thanks


Probably somewhere in Texas - possibly Houston area (could be way out in
the countryside though). Obviously can't be sure. It's an IP address
belonging to RoadRunner, according to the DNS authority section. The
reverse DNS lookup yields the name:


cpe-72-191-163-46.elp.res.rr.com


Traceroute from my location a few moments ago terminated at:


gig0-1.elpstxh5-ubr2.elp.rr.com


The traceroute went through what appears to be a router in the Dallas area
and then possibly in Houston, based on guesses from probable host name
conventions used by RR.


Maybe someone with better tools and info can provide more accurate info.


What makes you interested, if I may ask?


Thanks for the feedback. I'm on a Mac and I don't have a DOS prompt.



Use terminal and all the rich tools of UNIX are at you disposal.

Cheers
