It's not really clear (to me) what you mean here. An answer to your question might be: It is not possible, in general, to tell if two given IP addresses are assigned to the same physical computer. > I've got an IP address 62.50.15.83 and would like to know the real > whereabouts of the system. Doing a ``reverse'' DNS lookup and checking out the domain name might give you a hint. There are (possibly) other clues, too; search the web.
