In summary, the conversation revolves around using AOL and the ability for others to track a person's location through their IP address. The use of proxies is mentioned as a possible exception. The conversation then shifts to discussing AOL's current business status and the use of tools and software to track a person's location and modem name. The final part of the conversation involves the speaker trying to verify the gender of the person they are talking to.

When you use AOL, can people check out which state are you coming from ?
Are those people's Ip addresses started with 176 or 172 right ? sorry I don't remember it now.
Thanks

If your not using a proxy then anyone on the net can find where you are. Just do a traceroute on the ip.

1>Are there any exceptions ?
Even when you can trace out the IP addresses, sometimes I guess you can only figure out the server he/she is using...
2>Another question i'd like to make, what you can conclude about a certain Source DNS you know ? I mean what can you do with it ?
3>How can you read the modem name that access users are using ?

Thanks

If you think this is a question for development though it is clumpsy or so, why don't you give me the answers ?
How do you check it ?
What tools/software do you use to do that ?
I always heard someone say because of development, of choosing the most fitness, of taking the best one and ignoring any other things that are preventing the going-up processes, so can that someone give me some information ?
Thanks

What is the significance of the Aol ip address 176 or 172?

The Aol ip address 176 or 172 refers to the IP addresses used by Aol's servers to connect to the internet and communicate with other devices. These addresses are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are used to identify the location of Aol's servers on the internet.

Can these IP addresses be traced back to a specific location?

Yes, these IP addresses can be traced back to Aol's headquarters or data centers. However, it is important to note that IP addresses can also be spoofed or masked, so they may not always accurately reflect the physical location of the server.

How are these IP addresses assigned to Aol?

These IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is responsible for managing the global distribution of IP addresses. Aol may then further distribute these addresses to their servers and devices as needed.

Are these IP addresses unique to Aol?

No, these IP addresses are not unique to Aol. They are part of a range of IP addresses that have been allocated to Aol by the IANA. Other organizations or companies may also have IP addresses within this range.

How does Aol use these IP addresses?

Aol uses these IP addresses to connect to the internet and communicate with other devices. They are essential for Aol's servers to access and transmit data over the internet, allowing users to access Aol's services such as email, messaging, and browsing.
