I guess I pissed the other netizens off, but that was not the goal, but someone tracked down at least my IP address and I would prefer that not to happen.  I'm not an IT pro and so lack certain skills but it looks like the people who decided to "track me down" as it were did know.  is there anyone who can help.

Use Tor. It'll keep you annoymous online. (The web site will still show an IP, but it will be the wrong one.)\n\nhttp://tor.eff.org/

I am assuming that they stole your copyrighted content and design as opposed to stealing your domain name by altering DNS. In this case I think you are somewhat defenseless except to rewrite your website bigger and better.

Find yourself a port scanner.  You can get one that will allow you to scan the PC, find out what it's called (host name/netbios name) and even give you the username of anyone logged in to it.\n\nI just did a quick search and found one called Angry IP Scanner.  It will do all the above.  Should be enough to provide you with the clues you need.  http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

Well, the "owner" of the ip is going to be their internet provider in this case it's \nALLTEL Corporation ALLTEL-COMMUNICATIONS-NET (NET-67-140-0-0-1)\n                                  67.140.0.0 - 67.141.255.255\nALLTEL Communications of North Carolina 67-140-240-0 (NET-67-140-240-0-1)\n                                  67.140.240.0 - 67.140.255.255\nwithout a warrant, you won't be able to get any info, but if you have a serious issue, go to the police give them your complaint and this issue, along with the time they were online harrassing/stalking you and they can get a warrant to get the info.  Hope this helps

Are you sure that you are using a fixed IP?  With DHCP, your IP address can change every time you connect to the Internet.\n\nProbably, you need to contact the administrator of that website for more information  on resetting the account.\n\nIn that case, you probably have to make a new account, I feel that your existing account got compromised.

check the full headers part and in that you will be having the IP address from it generated from. Then search on google for IP to location matching you will get the location. If you cant find message me I will reply to you.

This is a problem limited to servers/services that enable these people to do this. Services that use active-x to read the IP directly from the computer and not the IP of the proxy server these people are using, these trolls revert back to being powerless script kiddies still living with mum <sic> here is a address of a service that uses active-x where you can see how powerless these trolls become

As a rule of thumb, don't make your passwords obvious. Make them at least 8 charactors in length with a number and a capital letter. I would not recommend tracing any ip's. Its just not worth the time or effort. I mean really what's the point? Get another account, let that one go. Just be more strict on your password selection

Whose proxy? one of them street proxies? the kind you find in every dark corner of the bad neighborhoods on the Internet?\n\nthe message is to the server owner that didn't config the server with 'https' protocol!\n\nget another proxy server!

Depends on where the IP is coming from.  If you are part of a network it may be just a request from a computer within your own network.  It could be a probe from your ISP or communication from a program you are using to a server on the Internet etc.  Some of these are harmless but others could be downright hostile.  If you are on a broadband connection make sure you have a hardware router with a firewall in place for added protection.

everytime you log on to the net you take an "IP address".\n\nIts basicly your position on the net.\n\nYou can do a whois search to find out where the IP is from, in general, but, you can not get an axact address based on an IP.

i have a phpbb forum and the only thing you can do with it is check who is providing the internet to that service...its a way if that person is posting illegal stuff..like how to make bombs and stuff you can just contact there isp and they'll handle the rest...thats whats its basically for.. but im not sure if they can obtain general location cause thats not possible unless they hack into the ISP. only thing your gonna get is IP address and service provider

First of all 2 of your images did not show.  Secondly, while the ideas behind the email information are good advice you missed the point of what phishing is all about.  This is an attempt by others to get more information about you.  Phishing emails generally entice you to go to a web site to input information about yourself, your banking account, paypal account, credit card information or anything else that can used for identity theft or to get at your real money.  You don't really talk about this anywhere in the blog.\n\nAs for the follow up with the email headers and such it is usually worthless to report these.  Most of them are either false or temp domain addresses and while the IP address might be a real address it is probably spoofed in the phishing email anyway and not where it actually originated.

you will have to downlaod a IP changer...\ntry Invisible Browsing...\n\nInvisible Browsing hides, changes or masks your IP address, letting you surf anonymously preventing your IP or other information to be collected without your permission.

You have nothing to worry about sweetheart.\n\nJust tell your daughter that the internet is a tool, and like all tools you should use it correctly or you will get in to trouble with mommy!\n\n\nNow about your legal issue,...\n"It stated that she had been caught participating in an illegal activity and that someone would be in contact within a certain period of time."\n\nThis is NOT sop (standerd operating procejure).... I am almost speachless... there are too many things wrong to even count!\n\nFirst off... No one can know "who" you are on the internet. So how can one get in touch with you... The only "address" that your computer leaves behind when you go to a website is your IP number which your internet service provider assigns you. So, lets say for argument, you used your computer to go onto an illegal website and you left your IP address in the "web servers" web "log" records, No police orginization has the power or the right to demand your ISP (internet service provider) for your information.\n\nHey and also.... dont you think police would try to ammount more then enough evidence (rather then one day worth of looking at illegal websites), before tipping their hand by telling the bad guy "oooo we are coming for you, watch out!"\n\nwell at this point you might be wondering... "but how do the police catch the bad guys that I see on the TV all the time"\n\nAh,.... thats were I come in....\n\none word.  "white-hat"... (or ethical computer hacking). One can have the power to remotely access a computer and if they were to find anything illegal, the local police might suddenly get that information in one way or another... after the tip off, after a great deal of investigation, police serve a warrent with "probobal cause" and siese the target computer.\n\nand another way people get caught,... they use a credit card to pay for access to illegal websites...I dont belive I need to explain this one...\n\nso...  the message you got was probobly just someone having a fun time at your scared little daughters expense, and probobly nothing will come of it... (um do make sure you have all updates and also if you are not running a antivirus or firewall... install one... if they do have your IP, they might try to "break in" and sniff around your computer, this way, they can figure out who you are and where you are located.)\n\n\n\nwell hope that helps alittle

The tracking that I think you are thinking about having heard of is IP tracking...this is the way to track an internet address. The computer, as a system, does not send out a unique verifying code or anything like that. When you hear of people gathering information on computers over the internet, what they are actually able to see - in most normal senses - has to do with what operating system the computer is running, etc. If you have a firewall on your network, even this information can not get out in most normal circumstances.\n\nNow I will say that I've never rented a computer & don't know if they put something in them in order to track them or if they just log the serial numbers. Either way, I doubt they'd go to the high-tech trouble to actually install something in the computer...I'm not saying it is impossible to do, just that it wouldn't be cost effective for them as a company. So, when it comes down to it, I doubt they'd actually try to track the thing over the internet but I know that it could be done...\n\nThe only problem I see in the whole situation - not trying to pass judgement or anything - is that, technically, if the original renters did not pay off the computer, then it could, should anyone realize it was not lost, be classified as stolen &, at that point, your son could be considered an accessory, especially since you both know the real story behind the computer. Is anyone ever likely to come looking for you over it? I seriously doubt it unless, by some strange coincidence, some bigwig from RAC or some cop were to read this question & feel like going through a whole mess of trouble to find the computer. I doubt anyone would bother taking the time...

Move.\n\nNo, really, it's off of your IP address through your ISP.  You can mask your IP by using a proxy that will allow you to surf anonymously.  Just look up "anonymous surfing" in Google.
