It is possible i think. It is very easy to get your Town's name but i dont know about adresses

Can you be please more specific what you ask as there are many techniques how to obtain IP address. What is the purpose for this post and this section?

Well, if you have a static IP address with a registered domain, he could have obtained it from domain registry look up. Though this really has no relation to Java at all.

I have looked up my IP on places like this and all i can get is my city (Kinda creepy)

Welcome to the site hdurina!

have you seen how loads of adult sites are like "Meet swingers from (location) today" - they get it from your IP

I just wonder how young man like you already know about this kind of sites, I think Dani will need to talk to your parent

There many techniques how to do it. In many cases IP detection is even offered with webspace you buy. There are many companies that specialize in IP detection like The Dude showed. Also system detection is very popular take BrowserHawk for example or Webalizer

I dont know anything about those sites. I just know because I needed to work out how to do that using PHP and the example code was based on using it for that.

haha.. of course you would notice that! lol.. jp I know exactly what your talking about.

To the OP, there are many sites that can log your ip address. You said that he was chatting with you, right? Instand message programs require connections to your computer, and thus you can look up the ip address of people you are chatting with (I have done this on AIM to hack my friends as a joke )

However, obtaining one's address from an ip is quite impossible. Many ip addresses are dynamic, and there is no way for anyone to create a database linking ip addresses with house addresses.. (people change isp and many other factors)

More than likely, the person you were chatting with was someone you knew who knew your home address before chatting with you.

This has nothing to do with java though..

hmm, that website got my city wrong.
