The closest they will be able to get is your city. To my knowledge there is no way to track an IP address to a specific address. It is relatively easy to track IP addresses, but the average person won't know how to do this.

no, they won't. For people it is practically impossible to find out what IP address was assigned to what home at a particular time, only ISPs can. And they won't tell "regular" people, only the authorities (like the police) when asked (and usually they have to ask with a court order...).

Yes they can and will be able to see and find you from just your I.P. address!
You can check it out yourself by going to whois.com! You can click on one of the links we have provide for you to check it out for yourself.
Good luck

if u r sending mail fm ur pc then "yes", but if you are sending mail (ie) fm work then "no", cause most likely u will be going through a main frame/raid/server.

No. They might be able to get a rough idea, but probably not any more precise then your nearest city.

Unless you use a proxy.

If they are smart they can. Most people do not know how to do such things though.

And your name,........ possibly your cat's name.
