Does anybody know how to find out the ISP/remote host (i.e. 123.123.123.123.dialup.eisg.net)?
I use apache on a windows machine, not iis or etc. I can't run xml or asp.
Is there an easy way to do do this?
I want to find out what there ISP/remote host is and then display just the last part( i.e. eisg.net).
you have to use a whois.ext program.
but if you get that then why do you need it. in php you can use HTTP_HOST, not sure what other languages use.
tell me more about the whois.ext program
the http_host is the same as the ssi SERVER_NAME directive
I am looking to find out my visitor's IP address (i.e. 204.225.44.11) and internet provider's name (i.e. proxy.aol.com, msn.com, eisg.net, dab.bellsouth.net)
the whole sequence looks like this: 204.225.44.11.proxy.aol.com, or 204.225.44.11.dab.bellsouth.net
whit I want to do is find out the whole thing and sepparate the ip (204.225.44.11) from the ISP (proxy.aol.com) or (dab.bellsouth.net)
can that be done?
the whois.ext script is generally whois.cgi
you should be able to find it a lot of places, but that will not help you do what you want. you have to use serverside language and I have no idea which one you are using.
but remember, not everybody has there IP in the host name. some don't even send an IP or HOST.
